We know the causes of death and disease among women all over the world. We have the money to tacklet it. We have the commitment of the WHO, foundations in rich countries and governments in poorer countries. So why isn't it working?In this powerful, accessible book, Sophie Harman identifies three key problems that hijack women's health: populist politics, misapplied inclusion strategies and burdening women in the health sector. She breaks down cases like the WHO sexual abuse scandal in DRC, Serena Williams' near-death experience and the Global Gag rule, as well as less well-known issues around trans health, the visibility trap and the stress placed on women health-workers, to illustrate what's going wrong, and offers smart solutions on how to fix it through activism and political work.
Five friends. Five lives. Countless hopes. Patrick, Shiv, Rian, Oli and Conor grew up together. They played together, skipped school together, and dreamt of everything they'd do with their lives.Now they are thirty, and only Rian has made it out of the estate and moved away to another city, but his money doesn't stop him clinging to a vision of the past that is quickly slipping away. Oli is fading by the day, drinking and snorting his way through the endless boredom, while Conor has a baby on the way and a business plan he hopes will change everything. Patrick and Shiv are as in love as ever, but even they are rocked when an old secret opens up new wounds...Bold, ambitious and stylistically striking, I See Buildings Fall like Lightning asks what happens when all the things we expect from our lives end up ... not happening. It lays bare the ways that place and circumstance shape us, explores the redeeming and transforming beauty of friendship and examines the true limits of hope and forgiveness.
