More than 1 million people were systematically murdered in just 100 days during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
We must never again let such an atrocity occur. We must say no to hate speech & xenophobia & reject the forces of polarization, nationalism & protectionism.
Feb 13, is #WorldCondomDay. The day seeks to increase awareness regarding condoms as a contraceptive method. If used correctly & consistently, they work as one of the most practical methods of preventing unwanted pregnancies and STIs/STDs.

LGBTIQ asylum seekers and refugees today faced the brutality of Kenya Police in Kakuma Camp, this follows a peaceful request to have better welfare and legal documentation. The Kenya Police responded with tear gas and beatings, many have been left unconscious.
Amazed by the great work done by this great organization; The Refugee Coalition of East Africa @RefCEA. It brings together #LGBTIQ@refugees in hostile #Kenya & provides them with resources from food, basics, emergency safe housing & psychosocial support.

On 7/11/19, LGBTIQ + Asylum seekers outside Refugee Affairs Secretariat ( RAS) offices, stranded after they were denied movement pass documents to go Kakuma Camp.
A group of LGBTIQ + asylum seekers continue to sleep outside RAS and UNHCR offices as they wait for intervention.
LGBTIQ+ Refugees and asylum seekers in Kakuma camp continue to carry on peaceful demonstrations in dissatisfaction for governments’ failure to intervene to transfer their data, the increased insecurity concerns, discrimination.
Attack on sexually diverse persons in #Uganda is getting more tense.. More reports indicate attacks & brutality on even those who fled to Neighboring kenya to seek safety in @Refugees camps. Thank you @CP24 for highlighting this.
