BANISHED, Northern Region, Ghana - 2024 by Claire Thomas Fusheina, a widow and mother of five, returns to the hut where she has lived in exile for six years. She is one of hundreds of women in northern Ghana accused of witchcraft, often by their own families or communities, and forced to seek refuge in so-called “witch camps.” These women are not there by choice: most flee or are sent away because to remain in their villages would mean risking their lives. Accusations of witchcraft exist beyond the reach of formal law yet are deeply entangled with social and structural inequality. They often arise from personal disputes, jealousy, or local misfortunes, and are almost always gendered.

Our latest #Global5050 Report - #HoldingtheLine - reveals a decline in public commitments to #genderequality in #globalhealth.

Now more than ever, organisations must uphold #genderjustice internally, even when public pressures mount.

➡️ Read now: bit.ly/HoldingtheLine
Quote by Seri Wendoh, International Planned Parenthood Federation Senior Technical Advisor, featured in the 2025 Global Health 50/50 report: “In the face of growing hostility to gender equality and reproductive rights, holding the line is not enough. For organisations working across diverse and often difficult contexts, staying true to our values means rooting our work in the realities of the communities we serve, not in the shifting winds of political convenience. When the space to act narrows, we find new ways to act, to speak, and to stand with those most affected.” At the bottom of the graphic, it reads: “Read more in Holding the Line - 2025 Global Health 50/50 report.”

This year’s #GlobalHealth 50/50 report reflects the complexity of the moment: populist politics, funding cuts & policy rollback.
Yet many continue to uphold values of #GenderJustice & #equity internally as public commitments shift.
