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! 🔈

Adolescents cannot be expected to just "grow up." We need to make a commitment to providing them with close and consistent nurturing through mentoring, community support, inclusive networks #1point8 #adolescents2030 #youngpeopleforchange

Only 1 in 10 survive in low-income countries.

This is unacceptable and we can and must change it.
