When we start providing inclusive menstrual health information in sign language, and caption videos and menstrual health, we break barriers, and empower Deaf girls. #DeafGirlsMatter #InclusiveHealth #DeafCommunity #DeafWorld

Deaf girls and women deserve a world where they are safe, where "no" is understood and respected, and where they can access justice without barriers. Yet many still experience #SGBV but remain unheard due to isolation and inaccessible support systems

Honoured to have our member FEDWEN KENYA at the #GDS2025 with support of CREA as part of #WomenGainingGround. "More should be done in the intersection of gender& disability. There is need for longterm flexible funding to address violence against women with disabilities."

It's #WorldHealthDay Since 2000, maternal deaths globally declined by 40%! 💙 BUT—progress is slowing, and aid funding cuts mean major threats to lifesaving maternity services in many parts of the world ❌

Deaf youths have the right to access accurate & inclusive family planning information. Day 1 of our 3-day sensitization kicks off with powerful conversations on methods, importance & the barriers Deaf youths face when accessing family planning methods.

When Deaf youths are given the right tools and information, they take charge of their health, rights, and futures with confidence. Our training was a space of learning, laughter, and connection. This is how we build stronger💪, healthier communities one session at a time.
