Despite growing efforts to decolonize Global Health, epistemic injustices continue to undermine the field. We argue that GN-ECRs need to critically engage with our roles to reduce epistemic injustices in Global Health. While we benefit from access to resources and platforms within the Global Health system, our authority within Global North academic hierarchies remains limited. Referring to the stages of awareness, deliberation and action, we outline how GN-ECRs must balance their roles at the intersection of privilege and constraint, and take responsibility for identifying feasible leverage points within existing structures. While the pursuit of equity and inclusivity is challenging and imperfect, each actor, including GN-ECRs, has a responsibility to contribute to a more just, inclusive and impactful system. By framing epistemic injustice through a consequentialist-positionality lens, this perspective offers a practical methodological tool for more equitable and effective Global Health research.</p>","PeriodicalId":46805,"journal":{"name":"Global Health Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"17579759261456705"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148594097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social factors and the availability and prices of healthy and unhealthy products often restrict the ability to follow a healthy diet. Food companies have a role in facilitating access to nutritious products, and policies should be in place to regulate the process.

Although there is disagreement among scholars about the use of the term 'decolonial' due to its usage by anti-democratic forces, it has become a buzzword in funding and scholarship in the Global North. Notwithstanding this disagreement, DGH claims to aim for a more inclusive health system, easy access for marginalised communities, equality and equity for women, minorities and low-economic classes, and the collusion of global health to include humans and non-humans in novel ways of thinking about holistic healthcare. The Eurocentric narrative of DGH by the Global North rooted in colonialism and violence is often followed blindly by the Global South countries, making the goals of equal access to healthcare - one of the primary United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - a distant dream. This paper critically analyses DGH and introduces a multidimensional policy framework for health called 'polysectionality', diversifying the ambit of DGH underlining equal access to health for all by breaking the North-South binary. I argue that the innovative polysectional conceptual framework will take the DGH conversation further in times of 'poly-crisis' by providing a blueprint to implement DGH policies effectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":46805,"journal":{"name":"Global Health Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"17579759261446310"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148206562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study, therefore, examined the level of open defecation practice and awareness of the dangers associated with such a practice among residents of the Malete community of Kwara State. The study employed the survey method with a structured questionnaire to gather data from 228 participants out of the 10,547 community population. Among other findings, the study found a high prevalence of open defecation among Malate residents. It also discovered that through radio and interpersonal communication most respondents were exposed to messages on the significance of the regular use of enclosed toilet systems for defecation. Still, the respondents further confirmed that the spread of open defecation practice among them was exacerbated by poverty and lack of enclosed toilet facilities. However, in the case of the Malete community, the study found that there is no significant relationship between income level and involvement in open defecation.
