Today @GADAAlliance, @AlzDisInt & Alzheimer Pakistan launch ground-breaking research on the unique needs of people living with #dementia, before, during & after humanitarian emergencies gadaalliance.org/humanitaria…
2/3rds of primary carers for people living with #dementia are #women. Discussions on the role of family caregiving need to fully recognise the disproportionate impact of unpaid care work on women & the implications including access to paid work @UN_Women #FamiliesOfToday
🚨 JUST RELEASED: #WomensProgress2019 🚨
How can laws, policies and public action support #FamiliesOfToday in ways that enable gender equality and women’s empowerment?

Congrats to @AlzCanada @GovCanHealth @CDNMinHealth - #Canada has adopted a national plan on #dementia! Good to see disproportionate impact of dementia on #women recognised in the strategy & proactive approach to addressing it. More govts should follow bit.ly/2RqdZzC

Day 2 of #RefugeeWeek and we would love for you to check out @IMC_Worldwide Toolkit for the Integration of #MentalHealth in #Humanitarian Settings - This Toolkit aims to support the understanding and implementation of integrated mental health programs bit.ly/IMC_MHIntegrationTool…
Very important research by @amnesty into the experiences of older people in #Myanmar: ‘Older people’s rights should inform humanitarian response and resourcing from a crisis’s first days, not as an afterthought.’ @mattfwells
Today @amnesty launches new report. Many older persons in #Myanmar are excluded and ‘invisible’ during humanitarian response, including their #health needs not being met: bit.ly/2IncyyW
Last chance to take part in the world's largest survey on attitudes around #dementia! It's available in over 30 languages and will only take 10mins to complete: bit.ly/2ImpGFJ - Deadline 15th June!

And #Africa all this reason are compounded and with the stigma of dementia associated with witchcraft we have a long way in tackling #dementia .So many women will be killed and driven away from homes if we don’t tackle it.
Four reasons why dementia is a women's issue:
1. More women live with it
2. More women take on care of people with dementia
3. More women face stigma - the triple jeopardy of gender, age and medical condition
4. Evidence shows it affects women differently to men

Why is #dementia a women’s issue? More women live with Demetria, take on the care work, face stigma, and are uniquely impacted by it - @amyjlittle @GADAAlliance #NCDs #WD2019

Ending our day w/a packed room to discuss #NCDs & #gender - differences exist in exposure to risk factors, disease progression, diagnosis, treatment received, & stigma. Must take a comprehensive approach to #HealthForAll #WD2019
