Launch of major new progress report on women and children’s health

At a major event at the World Health Summit, global partners, including WHO, will launch a new progress report on the current state of women, children’s and adolescent health. Titled Protect the Promise, this report provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date synthesis of evidence on this critical topic, documenting severe setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Produced through the Every Woman Every Child initiative, the report calls upon the global community to protect the promises made to women, children, and adolescents in the Sustainable Development Goals, to tackle the triple crisis of conflict, climate change and COVID-19 effects, and to invest and commit to restore lost gains for women, children and youth.
