Ending HIV among children by 2030 is within reach. Accelerated action, equitable access to care, and sustained investment can ensure no child is left behind. #EndHIVInChildren2030 #LeaveNoChildBehind

Too many women are losing their lives to violence that could have been prevented. Silence protects abusers. Communities must act, leaders must respond, and justice must be served. #StopFemicide

🧵4/5 Shame around menstruation and HIV can make girls feel judged, isolated, or afraid to ask questions. Stigma delays support, testing, and care. We must replace shame with support. #MenstrualHygieneDay #AYARHEPInAction

Strategic partnerships remain central to harnessing Africa’s full potential in health, human rights, and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Together with @cehurduganda, we had the pleasure of engaging with Cate Nyambura, Senior SRHR Policy Advisor at The Dioraphte Foundation, who leads the Foundation’s SRHR strategy through its Social Initiatives in Africa, in a rich and forward-looking conversation grounded in shared priorities and strategic alignment. The conversation created space to deepen our understanding of each other’s work, priorities, and approaches, while identifying potential areas for collaboration to advance SRHR in Africa.
