solidarity, global health, Africa

On the 14th of November 2024, the EthicsLab attended the photo-documentary exhibition Guardians of Seed, Land, and Life: The Seed Research Journey of the Southern African Rural Women’s Assembly that was showing in the Cape Town Castle. The exhibition showcases the ‘herstories’ of rural women seed guardians in seven SADC countries: eSwatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The exhibition celebrates the quiet and silent yet powerful activism of the RWA seed guardians and the seeds they hold.

On 10th July 2024, the Moving Beyond Solidarity Rhetoric in Global Health project team organised a workshop where global health practitioners discussed findings from the project’s consultative meetings conducted in Ghana and Guinea on the practice of solidarity in global health. 

 The workshop was part of the annual Oxford Global Health and Bioethics International Conference, which fosters multi-disciplinary debates and addresses ethical concerns in global health conception and implementation. 

The Second Regional Workshop of the Global Health Solidarity Project which targeted participants from Francophone Africa took place on 18th and 19th March 2024, in Conakry, Guinea. The workshop was organized by co-investigator Prof. Elysée Nouvet, in collaboration with Guinea's National Health Research Ethics Committee (CNERS), under the leadership of Prof. and Doctor Oumou Younoussa Bah-Sow.
