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.

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 💜

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.

“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 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.
MEDIA RELEASE:
Indigenous Doctors warns that racism will cost lives
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients must be treated ethically and equitably in relation to testing and treatment for COVID-19.

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.

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.

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

"contraception is a very important issue as it is a key element in the prevention of adolescent pregnancies'. this is why services like ours are so important, so that adolescents can have better access to info, advice and support during secondary schooling - and beyond!
Addressing #contraception in our adolescent population can be challenging. Recent Australian data has revealed that the majority of teenage girls have engaged in sexual intercourse by the end of their secondary schooling: ogmagazine.org.au/19/3-19/co… #WCD

In my international work I’ve met 100’s of women who have attempted unsafe abortions on themselves in an effort to access #ReproductiveAutonomy. On the ground in Qld, Australia, legislation & cultural stigma can be as limiting as a war zone. #QLDforChoice theguardian.com/world/2018/s…
