What: Farnaz Fassihi of The New York Times explains how the US foreign aid freeze has “decimated overnight” the women’s health care work around the globe. She reports that the impacts are “catastrophic” for millions of women and girls who depend on services like maternity care, contraception, cancer, and HIV treatment.
Key line: “For example, as of Wednesday, about 2.5 million women and girls have been denied contraceptive care, and that number is projected to balloon to 11.7 million by the end of the Trump administration’s 90-day review process.”
