Savalou (centre du Bénin) connaît son 1er cas de @COVID, 1er cas en dehors de Cotonou.
Courage aux braves mentors de @BatongaFdn pour avoir anticipé et lancé très tôt la campagne de prévention contre cette pandémie à Savalou.
Merci @angeliquekidjo , Merci BATONGA !

Had a chat over dinner with a friend, "big sis" yesterday... we talked about health systems, etc. I mentioned how unfortunate I find it to be that we don't even have equal access to life. There are huge social inequalities and inequities around the world; even within countries 😒

So, felt mentrual pain and discomfort today, even had to miss a seminar due to it...thought abt how some girls/women go through difficult periods in communities where mentruation and bleeding are taboo subjects due to stigma...where they are shamed for this natural event
Bravo to these authors for calling out reductive “analysis” by western “experts” that plagues reporting on the conflicts in Mali (Nigeria & Sudan too). Racial/ethnic/religious framing works for the colonial paradigm & ignores local/international economic and geopolitical forces.
