COVID-19 responses have not focused on Sexual Reproductive and Health Rights Gigi Louisa #QueeringSRHR
Sexual and Gender Minorities, because of quarantine and lock downs have been forced back into spaces where they experience violence. Sexual violence has increased ten fold, there’s little access to contraceptives, lack of access to hormonal care Gigi Louisa #QueeringSRHR
While speaking about what an intersectional health care system will achieve, Gigi Louisa said some of the benefits would include access to affordable contraceptives, inclusion of SRHR as a package within the NHIF scheme, enforcement of laws against harmful practices like FGM,
...child marriage, conversion therapy. Access to gender affirming care, strengthened advocacy initiatives, comprehensive HIV/AIDS services designed to meet Queer needs, developed knowledge and curriculum to shift attitudes in healthcare systems Gigi Louisa #QueeringSRHR
