.@ippf_acro published a blog post last year for #IDEP2023 and it is still so relevant this year. We must work to ensure the rights of children are protected so that they can live quality lives free from inequalities and harm.

“in the region, one in four girls marries before the age of 18 + most become pregnant before the age of 20. This negatively impacts their future, as most drop out of school, + spend twice as much time engaged in unpaid work...”

Access to adolescent and youth friendly health services, along with age-appropriate education on health and well-being, is essential in empowering girls to shape their own futures.

[Feminitt @feminitt]

Today, on #InternationalDayoftheGirl, we celebrate girls’ vision for the future—a future where every girl has the knowledge and confidence to make informed choices about her body and health.

[UNAIDS Global @UNAIDS]

At last week's #SummitoftheFuture & #UNGA79, global leaders, young people, communities and partners from around the world recognised the AIDS response as a beacon of hope for multilateralism, and shared renewed commitments to ending AIDS by 2030.

Watch some of the highlights!

We can’t wait to share some of the plans with you to address the lack of legislation to deal with HIV discrimination and the full implementation of the HIV Workplace Policy

[UNAIDS Caribbean @UNAIDSCaribbean]

Today, NGOs are working with staff from various ministries to develop advocacy strategies to address some of the challenges faced by people living with and affected by HIV.

On the list of issues we have HIV transmission among youth, HIV workplace policy and discrimination.

[UNAIDS Caribbean @UNAIDSCaribbean]

What do people say and fear about and do to people living with HIV, gay and other men who have sex with men, sex workers and transgender people?

We’re unpacking the issues with government officials and communities to strategize toward ending stigma and discrimination in 🇹🇹

@chefbrigetterj How do you rate it, Chef?!

[Feminitt @feminitt]

Comprehensive sexuality education helps learners to develop healthy practices that enable positive relationships by challenging harmful norms + stereotypes that produce violent behaviors + beliefs.

A healthy world is a world where respect is commonplace.

#WorldSexualHealthDay

[Feminitt @feminitt]

Commemorating #WorldSexualHealthDay with an important reminder: Breaking the stigma against HIV and AIDS requires us to change the way we speak about HIV prevention and living with HIV.

#ZeroStigma!

[UNAIDS Caribbean @UNAIDSCaribbean]

We have to do more than talk to people about HIV prevention. They need to hear about living positively with HIV as well.

A reminder from our friend TeHilla Paul from @feminitt 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[IPPF Global @ippf]

What’s a burning question you have around #SexualHealth?

Let us know 👇

We’ll ask the experts for you 🙌

[Feminitt @feminitt]

Will you join the movement to #endperiodpoverty?

Ending period poverty requires systemic changes that reduces barriers to accessing period products + menstrual health education + services.

Join us as we continue to break the stigma: pass the pad for a #safecycle!

[Feminitt @feminitt]

Imagine a world where young people can learn without interruption…⭐️ 📚

Menstrual equity legislation reduces barriers to learning as it ensures that students in need can have a #SafeCycle.
