When we fight for #BlackLivesMatter , this is not limited to police brutality in America. This is a fight against racial injustice worldwide. This includes the murder of #ShukriAbdi: bullied and left to drown by racists from her school.

Happy #PRIDEMonth

In the midst of #BlackLivesMatter it is imperative that we recognise, respect, value and protect every intersection of the community. This includes the LGBTQ+ community. You cannot support Black Lives and be homophobic or transphobic. (1/4)

Let’s talk about Mental Health 📢

Everywhere you turn, there’s a mention of the C-word. The daunting news and stories can cause anxiety. Social isolation can exacerbate this. Take time out to prioritise your mental health. It’s not negligent, it’s essential.

There are existing socio-economic issues facing the trans community. @mauroicabral explains how trans people worldwide are dependent on informal employment. This means in light of #COVID19, how they make a living has been interrupted. This deserves recognition. #SRHR4All
