Social Scoop
Towards making the world healthy!
April saw us celebrate World Health Day, Earth day and so much more, while keeping women’s reproductive and sexual health at the helm. Using important statistics, memes, relatable content and stories from the field, we sought out to increase awareness around safe abortion for women, the need for women to have access to reproductive and sexual healthcare, and reiterated the fact the World Health Day’s theme for 2023 - #HealthForAll, implied that ‘ALL’ includes women, young adults, adolescents, the LGBTQIA+ community, and most importantly women!
In April, we also spoke about the impact of climate on women’s health and access to healthcare on World Earth Day, keeping in mind the theme of investing in our planet. This month was also a celebratory one for us with the addition of our newest coalition partner - Dasra!
