The hierarchy is alive even within the LGBTI discourse where MSM and gay men are top priority #chakunetsachii https://t.co/oSYnUqFvBG

Separating queer, lesbian, sex worker, mother, sister, preacher, wealthy, impoverished, HIV+ coz u can only be one thing? @icasawomen

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

If it did - safe abortion would be legal everywhere, always. But nah. #chakunetsachii

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

This reasoning perceives a hierarchy in lives worth saving. This hierarchy often does not prioritise the lives of women #chakunetsachii

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

The language of "key populations" didn't come out of a vacuum. It was a product of the reasoning of our prevailing global health systems

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

Like - we are your citizens. When do we begin to enjoy our right to health? Why must we wait for men to be served first? #chakunetsachii

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

In terms of our sexual health we need to have a convo about how protections available on the market aren't user friendly #chakunetsachii

[Rudo Chigudu @shonawarrior]

Key populations cannot become the language that cripples us #chalunetsachii? https://t.co/qqAuYISLms

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

Where are the extensive studies being done on our sexual health? Where are the technologies re protection during sex?

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

We see the impact of the heteropatriarchy in the lack of concern for the lives of queer women. We see you not care.

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

It is! But the system is so determined to make things seem like they're a coincidence. Like...respect us please @shonawarrior

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

It is a problem that women's broad experiences clearly do not matter to the organisers of @ICASA2015ZIM

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

How we approach convos about HIV/AIDS is political. If we cannot identify our politics, that means we're accepting the norms of status quo

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

It's irresponsible to try to have single issue struggles when we don't live single issue lives. Also - the personal is political

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

But we're busy trying to act as though HIV/AIDS is experienced in a vacuum. But it's not our oppressions are intertwined. #defineWEfor2030

[#chakunetsachii? @icasawomen]

We also need to talk about the language that we're using around sex work and the need to include queer women because OUR HEALTH MATTERS TOO
