COAH-K envisions a world where young people can realize their full potential & lead a healthy life regardless of who they are & where they live. Let's join together to spread the word about Disability Pride & the work that still needs to be done to advance #DisabilityRights.

[Circle of Adolescent Health Kenya @coahkenya]

Happy Disability Pride Month! After The United States passed Americans with Disabilities Act (#ADA) on July 26th, 1990, cities around the world have begun celebrating #DisabilityPride every July.

[Circle of Adolescent Health Kenya @coahkenya]

Its a time for the disability community to come together, uplift, & amplify one another’s voices & be heard. Disability pride has been described as “accepting & honoring each person’s uniqueness and seeing it as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity.”

[Circle of Adolescent Health Kenya @coahkenya]

Today is #InternationalNonBinaryPeoplesDay!
Non-binary is an umbrella term for people whose #genderidentity doesn’t sit w ‘man’ or ‘woman’. Non-binary identities are varied & can include people who identify with some aspects of binary identities while others reject them entirely.

COAH-K wishes everyone a Happy Pride Month!

Although public support of #LGBTQ+ rights is slowly growing, there is A LOT of work to be done to make #Kenya a safe space for all. At COAH-K, we're committed to supporting ALL adolescents, including those who identify as LGBTQ+.

@tyra_trends @KenyaQueerPride @Esther861996 @Pride @pridekenya2022 @ILoveLGBTPride @Galck_ke @LGBTHM All sexual orientations & gender identities are valid & do NOT need justification even if you do not fully understand it yourself. People express themselves in lots of ways which helps spreads awareness on LGBT topics! Take the time to educate yourself & accept those around you.

#TBT to the powerful moments of #CommunityEngagement at our #WorldPreeclampsiaDay Town Hall Meeting. We were inspired by the questions, discussions and shared experiences that shaped the event. Thank you to everyone who joined us & made it a resounding success! 🌟💙💜

[Circle of Adolescent Health Kenya @coahkenya]

At COAH-K we support all adolescents & young adults regardless of how they identify. All people should be able to express their true selves & love who they love without fear, discrimination, violence or shame. We will continue to work to ensure that Kenya is a safe place for all.

Since the original #PrideFlag was created in 1978, there have been several updates with a recent one being the Progress Pride Flag that includes Black & Brown for people of color & White, Blue, & Pink for the #transgender community.

[Circle of Adolescent Health Kenya @coahkenya]

There are many flags that represent different #sexualities & identities, including the Bisexual, Asexual, #Genderqueer, & Intersex, among others. The flags displayed in this post are just a few of the many flags representing the different sexual orientations & gender identities.

Trends in ASRH in Kenya show that the use of contraceptives, particularly modern contraceptives, among married and unmarried sexually active adolescent girls ages 15-19 years has increased considerably between 1989 and 2022.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Women’s rights are NOT negotiable.

Women and girls EVERYWHERE deserve to live a life of dignity and respect. Period.

Are you with us?

A year after Roe was overturned, it's worth stating again: abortion restrictions are about power and control, not health or safety.

@CREAWKenya @MenEngageKenya @YWANKenya @PlanKenya @ActivistaGsa @stadakenya @WomankindKenya @coahkenya @GBVcommittee @Drenowawah Subjecting women & girls to Gender Based Violence is a gross violation of their fundamental human right, which has far reaching consequences on their physical, psychological and emotional well-being.

Q8: Are present efforts to address drug use and addictions among young people sufficient ?

This is not a comprehensive list of all sexualities & #genderidentities. It is essential to continue educating yourself on LGBTQ+ pride, history, & issues, especially outside of #PrideMonth.

[Circle of Adolescent Health Kenya @coahkenya]

Pride month is about acceptance, equality, celebrating the work of #LGBTQ+ people, education on LGBTQ+ history, & raising awareness of issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community. We created this graphic to educate & raise awareness on the many different sexual & #genderidentities!

[Circle of Adolescent Health Kenya @coahkenya]

COAH-K is committed to supporting #LGBTIQ rights not only this month, but all year round. We envision a world where young people can realize their full potential & lead a healthy life regardless of who they are, where they live & how they identify.
