[Editorial] Standing up for gender justice

A denial and distortion of the reality of gender is unfolding in the USA that will have huge consequences for health globally. President Donald Trump's actions include erasing the term gender from all documents and recognising only two biological sexes, reinstating the global gag rule that withholds sexual and reproductive health care, rejoining the anti-abortion Geneva Consensus Declaration, and terminating all diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and initiatives. A movement that opposes the very existence of gender has been emboldened, including other leaders like Argentina's President Javier Milei.
