It's disheartening to see LGBTQ+ individuals forced to conceal their sexual and reproductive health information due to discrimination, violence, or legal risks. We must foster a safe environment that embraces openness and support. Policymakers must recognize, through data, that our communities have unique needs that demand equitable attention, investment, and action. Let's amplify our voices, demanding the change we deserve! 🔈 Learn more: bit.ly/3JzScle #HumanRights #LGBTQI+ #YoungPeopleForChange

9 in 10 babies #BornTooSoon before 28 weeks survive in high-income countries. Only 1 in 10 survive in low-income countries. This is unacceptable and we can and must change it. Learn more 👉🏿 borntoosoonaction.org #BornTooSoon #IMNHC2023 @alignmnh @WHO @UNICEF @UNFPA

SA is often said to be on the verge of becoming a failed state, but the Enyobeni Tavern tragedy, which claimed the lives of 21 young people, underscores that the country, or parts of it, may have become a failed society writes William Gumede. timeslive.co.za/sunday-times…
