Akina Mama wa Afrika

It’s time for an honest conversation! For so long, the private sector has been positioned as the solution to our development challenges, even with its profit-driven agenda at the people's and planet's expense. How do we reclaim this social contract and ensure that states play a role that centres on justice and inclusion, especially for structurally marginalised people? Join powerful feminist voices from the Global South at this year’s @AWID Forum as we explore: "Framing a Global South Feminist Social Contract for a Just Transition." Date: 4th December 2024 Time: 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM (Bangkok Time) Venue: Room 111C Let’s envision a future built on equity, resilience, and feminist values.

How familiar are you with the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) Bill and its potential to address the burden of catastrophic out-of-pocket healthcare expenses that impoverish many Ugandans? From the #MakeWay consortium, Nakigudde Hannah Margaret from the Make Way Youth Panel and Michael Ssemakula from @Alliance of Women Advocating for Change will delve into the #NHIS Bill, detailing its anticipated benefits, particularly for marginalised communities, and its role in strengthening Uganda’s Domestic Resource Mobilization.

📢 Calling on policymakers to use an intersectional approach to ensure SRHR for all!  Everyone needs access to healthcare, including sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Yet, many people are left behind because of, for instance, their gender, sexuality, financial situation and social status. This needs to change. Over the past couple of months, Make Way and partners have shared the stories of trailblazers who are paving the way in SRHR by using an intersectional approach. So that those who are often excluded when it comes to policies, services and information are finally seen.  We hope that these stories from youth, journalists, religious leaders and civil society have brought to light the power of intersectionality and the need for its application in SRHR. A big thank you to all our partners who collaborated @amwaafrika, The Circle, Cheshire Disability Services Kenya, @lilianefonds @fawe_regional @vso_nederland @wemos_healthjustice @metakenya2018 @diverseempower @impanuro & more. Let’s continue our call for intersectionality!  Check out the full #SeeMe campaign in the link in bio ✨  #SeeMe #MakeWay #Intersectionality #SRHR @minbz      [link in bio: https://lnkd.in/gh4jg9FN
