In this episode, we discuss key lessons for establishing and maintaining successful multistakeholder partnerships with feminist civil society organisations in ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccinations. We explore a very contemporary example from Mexico and hear the perspective of the national government and feminist civil society on how priorities converged in the development of a national strategy which ensured more gender equitable access to COVID-19 vaccinations, in particular for pregnant women.
