World TB Day 2026: A Feminist Call to Action

This past World TB Day, Women4GlobalFund (W4GF), together with TB Women Global and the Global Coalition of TB Advocates (GCTA), launched a feminist Call to Action to demand urgent, gender-transformative TB responses. 🌍🫁

Ending TB requires addressing the root causes of inequality that shape who can access care, who receives timely treatment, and who is left behind β€” especially women and girls in all their diversity.

As the Global Fund enters Grant Cycle 8 (GC8), we call for full funding of community-led, people-centred TB interventions, including:

  • Reaching high-vulnerability settings
  • Strengthening prevention and early diagnosis
  • Reducing stigma and discrimination
  • Investing in the TB vaccine pipeline
  • Addressing drug-resistant TB

Read the full Call to Action and join us in advocating for a more equitable TB response.

Because yes β€” we can end TB!
