Thank you so much for volunteering your time to speak at our event 💜 Our medical student community deeply appreciated your expertise and insight!

[AMSA Sexual and Reproductive Health @yourAMSASRH]

Hear from @drmsimonis @OlayideOgunsiji and @FaribaWillison on female genital mutilation/cutting #fgmc in Australia, and what healthcare providers can do to help this harmful practice and support survivors. https://t.co/h4bKeUw5qP

They discuss the stigmas faced by SWers when engaging with medical professionals and give valuable guidance to medical students about how to practice in SW-friendly ways. 

(thanks to those who responded to @GiveTessLove Twitter questions like the fab @jennahasredhair)

It's ep 54 and we're honoured to bring you a panel discussion on the experiences of SWers in the healthcare system, convened by @yourAMSASRH feat. Fox (then-acting President of @scarletalliance), Lena (Manger of @MagentaWA) and our very own @GiveTessLove 💜

Medical students report that training in sexual and reproductive health in university curricula is inadequate. We’re proud to have filled in some gaps in education and training via #SexualHealthSeptember. Read our full statement about it here: https://t.co/FBJc7GHBxx

[Brenna B @brennabernardin]

Tuning in tonight to this great @yourAMSASRH webinar! Tonight I learned about access issues to SRH services from Jax, such as physical access (ramps/transport), cost & how a person's disability may be viewed in a medical lens as flawed.

[Equality Now Africa @EqualityNow_AF]

“Progress to end FGM has been tremendously interrupted because of the pandemic. Much of the response plan is based on physical engagement with communities, which has been hampered,” EN’s @makandigitonga via @TRF_Stories by @nitabhalla. #EndFGM

[RANZCOG - O&G @ranzcog]

RANZCOG calls for an end to institutional racism within the health care system, particularly during #COVIDー19. No Indigenous person should be subjected to underlying or overt discrimination. Every Australian, regardless of their background, deserves equitable testing and care.

This shouldn't become common - our health is on the line #ReligiousDiscriminationBill

[Andy Meddick @AndyMeddick2]

Shocked to see this in my town. Yes, legal. But likely emboldened by Religious Discrimination Bill. Federal MPs must vote it down - or lives and safety will be at risk. This is reproductive healthcare and nobody should ever be denied it.

[AMSA Sexual and Reproductive Health @yourAMSASRH]

Excellent coverage of the situation in QLD!

[Gina Rushton @ginarush]

🚨 Here's the definitive thread on absolutely everything you need to know about the push to decriminalise abortion in Queensland this week. The personal stories and the politics. I'm here in Brisbane to bring you news from the parliamentary debate/vote as it unfolds 🚨 #qldpol

[Pro Choice QLD @ProChoiceQLD]

Berkman: In an ideal world, every pregnancy would be planned.

It's not my place, and it's not our place as legislators, to force someone to carry out an unwanted pregnancy.

[Our Bodies Our Choices @OurBodiesChoice]

Women in Tasmania are currently having to fly interstate to access surgical abortion, and women in QLD either travel to Brisbane or Sydney, so the idea that abortion is always easy to access is deliberate ignorance.

[Repro Choice Aus @ReproChoiceAu]

There is already an unbiased, all-options pregnancy advisory service in #qldpol delivered by @childrenXchoice on a shoestring budget. Don't reinvent the wheel, increase $$ to @childrenXchoice to upscale their services. #not1899 #TogetherforChoice

[AMSA Sexual and Reproductive Health @yourAMSASRH]

Completely agree!

[Pro Choice QLD @ProChoiceQLD]

Fentiman: it's time to stop treating terminations any different to all the other health procedures doctors advise on.

[Pro Choice QLD @ProChoiceQLD]

Brisbane, you legends 💜💜💜 the rain and wind was torrential, but you still showed up in your thousands ✊🏼 #QLDforChoice #ProChoiceBill
