Sexual and Reproductive Justice Coalition

Civil society coalition in South Africa working towards Sexual & Reproductive Justice informed by an intersectional feminist perspective ✊

[Institute of Women Social Workers @socialworkwomen]

The proposed dissolution of the Zimbabwe Gender Commission raises serious concerns for the protection and promotion of gender equality in Zimbabwe.

We call for the strengthening, not weakening of institutions that safeguard the rights of women and girls.

@YEMKenya @TheStarKenya @CarolineMutoko @daktari1 @EAukot @BillowKerrow @theMagunga @Honeyfarsafi @PlanKenya @Lesuuda @johnallannamu @QabaleD This is great. After the recent Free State University study finding toxic chemicals in all SA pads I hope you are looking into the health of the products too.

Professor Lizette Erasmus, who is part of the research team yesterday said that they’ve been reached out by the period companies mentioned in the study. I’m hoping that statements will be made to provide some clarity & accountability is taken.

This week has caused a lot of panic for many people who menstruate. Not one single statement from the companies in that study. It’s really telling… 😖

[READ]: "The Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness says it has no plans to comply with a 2025 Labour Court ruling that community health workers (CHWs) must be absorbed into the formal health workforce.

Nobuntu Mfengwana (53) is a CHW in Cape Town working for Philani Nutrition Centre, one of the NPOs contracted by the department.

“Being regarded as an essential worker feels like an insult to me. I see myself as a vulnerable worker,” says Mfengwana.

She’s been working as a CHW for different organisations since 2012, gaining extensive experience over the years. She earns R4900 monthly – an amount she says is not enough to meet the basic needs of her family of nine."

Women's safety and dignity attacked again. How sneeky companies have gotten at hurting us. I bet none of these co are owned by women either!

We write with rage. We speak with love for our sisters whose dignity has been stripped.
This statement is our collective cry against the systematic violation of women by those meant to protect us. Our homes are not theatres of state violence. Silence is no longer an option.

Big win for free expression in Kenya 🇰🇪
This morning, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of #FreedomOfExpression. The government can’t shut down art with force or take parts of artists’ work. This case started with #Rafiki, but it protects all of us. The Constitution stands!
