New @HRW report! Doula care should be better supported to meet reproductive justice/rights goals in Florida.

[Skye Wheeler @WheelerSkye]

Community-based doulas are underpaid and burning out in Florida, even though it's widely accepted that these care workers are a key part of addressing racial inequities in maternal and birth health outcomes! https://t.co/iPeNuc99Pi

New @HRW report out! Doulas are part of the solution to reproductive rights abuses in the US! Thank you so much to all who helped with this work!!!

Toxics are a reproductive justice issue. Toxics are a reproductive rights issue. Toxics are a reproductive health issue. https://t.co/pntK0Xrxtt

Today is day one of the conversation convened by @hrw and @ReproRightsAFR where we are discussing research findings from Ghana, Ethiopia and Kenya on the prevalence and experiences of obstetric violence by women - particularly those from low income areas. @KELINKenya

US government report (NTP) says fluoride at twice the recommended limit is linked to lower IQ in kids. It found moderate evidence linking high fluoride to lower IQs in kids. About 1.9 million are exposed to naturally high fluoride levels in their water. https://t.co/LqV25fpvbV

Wildfires are a growing risk for maternal and newborn health and reproductive justice in the US. What is being done? Not enough.

It’s time for a similar review of the UN-led response to the crisis in Afghanistan.

[Heather Barr @heatherbarr1]

The special rapporteur pulls no punches. Bennett calls the Taliban’s system of discrimination a crime against humanity, saying it “constituted in and of itself a widespread and systematic attack on the entire civilian population of Afghanistan.” https://t.co/RiSXaeOk5H

"Sudan is on a trajectory today towards the worst famine for four decades or longer" Alex de Waal tells Newsday. He says what's different from previous famines is it will affect the whole country - and see catastrophic numbers of child deaths. #KeepEyesOnSudan

Millions of people are being exposed to life-threatening heat in the Southwestern U.S. #heatdome

These events are happening more intensely and frequently every year.

So who pays for the damage to our health, homes, food, and livelihoods? #StopDrillingStartPaying 👇

Ask if you live in a free world without explaining the difference between freedom as an ideal and the ideology that we are being sold for freedom.

🌍 The climate crisis isn't just about extreme weather. It's a sexual health and reproductive rights emergency. As temperatures rise, so do challenges for abortion access and women's health services. Climate justice is reproductive justice.
