DESPICABLE: At this year’s 70th Commission on the Status of Women, the U.S. was the only country to vote “no” on strengthening access to justice and equality for all women and girls.
But that’s only *part* of the story... 🧵👇

🌟 What’s the Difference? 🌟
✨ Ever wondered about the difference between Reproductive Rights and Reproductive Justice?
Well, Feminism demands both, but they tackle different battles.

There is no Universal Health Coverage without #SRHR⚠️
For many girls & women, out-of-pocket expenses for SRH services mean going without life-saving services. This has to change.
Health is a human right. Governments must invest in financial protection for UHC #UHCDay #GenderUHC
ALT Comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights are a cornerstone of Universal Health Coverage.Yet, SRH services often require out-of-pocket expenses, making them financially prohibitive for many girls and women throughout their lives, putting health at risk. It’s time for change!

It’s #UHCday! For too many people around the world, the cost of accessing health-care and medicines is too high.
Today, we remind governments that no one should have to choose between health-care and putting food on the table.
Health is a human right. Invest in financial protection for #UniversalHealthCoverage today.

UHC Day reminds us no one should choose between medical care and basic needs. Yet many are one bill away from poverty. It’s time to invest in primary health care to keep the promise of #HealthForAll.

The unsung heroes of our communities: healthcare workers. But at what cost?
Watch as 4 healthcare workers from GwaGwa community, Abuja, speak out against GBV in the health sector. Let's work together to create a safer environment for them!

A Call for Justice and Accountability
Today, as we commemorate Human Rights Day, we stand united against the rising tide of femicide.
Our march was not just a demonstration but a powerful declaration of our collective pain, anger, and demand for justice.
Despite the peaceful nature of our protest, the response we received was a stark reminder of the challenges we face.
The use of tear gas by police and their mishandling of the situation highlight the systemic issues we are fighting against a lack of safety for women and disregard for our voices.

One of the key arguments brought by countries during the historic #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ hearings on the legal obligations of States in the context of #ClimateChange is #ClimateReparations.
"Can legal consequences be triggered about climate harm?" The answer is YES 🤫
