Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Campaign Dubbed 'Sensible And Safer Practices' Launched in Uganda

-
Collaboration with different LGBTIQQ, Women and HIV/TB Care organisations is a norm that has been around. When Nature Network, SWKPAAP, ROSCEA, MARPS In Uganda joined to form Advocacy Network Africa (AdNetA) the idea was to create platforms where planned health promotion could take place.

Along the way, MARPS In Uganda asked WAVE (a youth led Social Support organisation) to work together on an SRH Campaign from 25th May 2020-08 June 2020.

What constituted the planned health promotion was a rubric against which planned activities were outlined. The outline spanned 25th May 2020 to 08 June 2020.

The aim of the campaign is to provide opportunities:

1. To access SRH knowledge in a format accessible by those who would like to conduct an SRH Activity for their audiences

2. To use SRH knowledge to promote healthy living by those who access the information and use it to make life promoting decisions

3. To share the SRH knowledge among peers and thereby address misinformation or wrong information

4. To show case alternatives through which self determination by LGBTIQQ is possible

5. To create critical information, education and communication around SRH that is tailor-made, consumed, accessible and reproducible by LGBTIQQ

6. Approach SRH from a goal-oriented perspective: to increase awareness on how best to lead quality life; to use knowledge to organise oneself; to link up with opportunities to demand and access the complexity of  SRH services.

We hope by the end of the campaign this will have raised a critical number of persons who utilise SRH knowledge in form of information, education and communication (IEC) to promote healthy living goals.

Sexual and Reproductive health Is Business You Should Mind About! We have sexual rights, reproductive responsibilities; body agency, autonomy and self-determination goals. The dignity of humanity and the reward for healthy goals is possible when we participate in understanding who and what we are. We deploy this to negotiate for life enhancing practices or resources. Sexual health as a resource is one area we are striving to share with our beneficiaries with aim of breaking it down for them as an empowering tool for quality life experiences. Sexual and reproductive health is a resource one uses to participate in quality life experiences and self-determination. According to the American Sexual Health Association, “ sexual health is the ability to embrace and enjoy our sexuality throughout our lives. It is an important part of our physical and emotional health. Being sexually healthy means: Understanding that sexuality is a natural part of life and involves more

We are so happy to celebrate WALAI team, animating "living together in peace!" After the recently concluded COVID-19 Loser Africa "Do No Harm" Campaign, we resolved to create Prevention Communities of Best Practices. We want to make our communities tolerate us. We join hands and hope this relationship will be built around creating and owning self esteem narratives as CBO groups willing to "take health in their hands!" We hope that all other LGBTIQQ leaders will be pleased to support our narrative. Our appeal goes out to some out there who are prone to toxicity and negativity for once to think harder. Don't talk behind our backs, don't stick daggers in our backs. Health is a beneficial resource which can enable us build a support system from scratch. Support us as we posit the following: LGBTIQQ Identity Can Be Used For Creating Self Esteem in Homestead Communities Through Strategic Self-Esteem and Rapport Building Activities

A Born Well Child Campaign 9 th  June- 8 th  July 2020 COVID-19 and Aggression toward Children When you are an adult and that child cannot access hand-washing materials due to your actions or inaction, then that is a COVID-19 related vulnerability and aggression.  We must provide opportunities for children to grow and develop well. Every child has the right to be born well, to be cared for and raised well. When you are a family and the children cannot access food, care, love, compassion, privacy, agency, autonomy and self-determination tools, then that is aggression. When you are a community and that community cannot provide the necessary safety nets to avoid COVID-19, then that is aggression. There are different  types of abuses: ·           Physical abuse. ·           sexual child abuse (Rape, molestation, child pornography) ·           Neglect (Physical neglect, educational neglect, and lack of protection from diseases) ·           Emotional abuse (Verbal, Me
