What is #Choice in #HIVPrevention ?
#Choice in HIV prevention means that every person has the #right to clear information, #freedom from pressure, and the ability to choose the HIV prevention method that works best for them.

HIV prevention is not one-size-fits-all. It includes #biomedical options, #behavioural approaches, and #structural support that together help people protect themselves in ways that fit their real lives.

At a time when anti-rights mobilization, family disputes, and unfair evictions continue to create risk for the GSD community and allied human rights defenders, community-based protection matters more than ever.
#FromRiskToResilience | #CommunityProtection
That is why Amkeni Malindi invested in a 3-day ADR training for our protection network, equipping participants with practical tools for #mediation, safe intervention, and referral.

10,581.
Let that number sink in.
That is the number of missing children ripped from Kenyan homes over the last 15 months. These are not just figures on a report.

These are empty beds, frantic parents, and futures stolen far too soon. Combine that with the reality of women being murdered week in, week out, and it becomes clear: violence against the vulnerable is escalating, and we cannot afford to normalize it. >>>

A landmark ruling. A historic moment. A powerful reminder that transgender rights are human rights. โ๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ

While regressive, anti-rights machinery continues to threaten civic spaces and human dignity across Africa, Kenyaโs judiciary has held the line. This High Court judgment is a monumental triumph for institutional accountability and constitutional supremacy.

Letโs be honest, when someone is being harassed, mocked, or threatened because of how they express their gender or who they love, walking away silently isnโt minding your business. Itโs a vote for the status quo.

Every time we look the other way to avoid an uncomfortable conversation, we give perpetrators a green light. We tell them the safety, dignity, & mental peace of queer persons >>>>
