#ChildGauge2018 is currently underway. The "nuclear" family is far from the norm in SA. Let's support different types of families.

@SonkeTogether this is the article in Sunday Times.

[WritingByBeth @BethWriting]

Yay! So happy to be deepening the narrative on what constitutes "family" in SA.

Great article by Beth Amato @CoEHuman on fatherhood in @SundayTimesZA. High time we acknowledged the importance of social and biological fathers.

@CollinsMandy I am feeling so flipping burnt out. It's really a very bad place to be. Any tips welcome (I do need to make money), although perhaps I should manage my fekking time better.

How has winning #IsuEliheAwards changed way you report? @BethellaShirley says children’s voices broaden the narrative of big issues like teen pregnancy. Lovely insight! @MediaMattersZA @sikimgabadeli #MMAMFW18 #MMA25

Children are citizens also says @BethellaShirley @rmoalusi says we are being dealt with harshly on these issues by @PressCouncil_SA but they need to be empowered further. @MediaMattersZA #MMAMFW18 #MMA25

@MrsWinderley I am so happy to be following this blog. My little boy has just been diagnosed with extreme far sightedness and we are in the beginning stages of glasses-wearing. It's been a challenge but we'll get through it!

I’m not running for office in spite of having young kids. I’m running BECAUSE of my kids.

I’m fighting so they can grow up and breath clean air and drink clean water. So they can get good educations. So my daughter can be anything she wants. https://t.co/ru1Z0LzZz8
