Young People Speak Up FOR THEM ✊

Ratu Manoa Rokotavaga, USP Post Graduate Diplomacy Student and proud Fijian National, is not waiting for change. He is calling it out. 🎙️

"It takes all of us. HIV prevention is a shared responsibility. HIV is disproportionately affecting Pasifika families, and that reality calls each of us to act - not just for ourselves, but for our parents, our siblings, our vanua and our community. Awareness is not enough unless we take it personally."

This is not someone else's problem. It lives in our families, our communities, our vanua. And it calls each of us by name.

If not us, then who? If not now, then when? 🌏

Speak up. Step up. Do it FOR THEM. ❤️

Today we mark both the International Day of Action for Women's Health and Menstrual Health Day — two reminders that women's health is not a single issue. It is interconnected, complex, and deeply personal. 💜

Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights and Justice means that every woman, everywhere, deserves access to the health information, rights, and services she needs, free from barriers, discrimination, coercion, violence, and stigma.

That includes menstrual health. Because when a young woman cannot access safe, affordable period products, or is shamed for something completely natural, her ability to show up at school, at work, and in her community is compromised.

It also includes HIV. In the Pacific, women and girls continue to face unique vulnerabilities when it comes to HIV risk, from unequal power in relationships to the barriers many face when simply trying to negotiate condom use. When stigma silences her and fear stops her from testing, her health pays the price.

In a region where intersecting crises continue to deepen inequality and exclusion, SRHRJ is not just a global statement. It is a call to action on our doorstep.

Her menstrual health. Her sexual health. Her right to live free from HIV stigma and fear. These are not separate conversations. They are one. 🌏

Today and every day, we stand with every woman and girl across the Pacific. Her health. Her rights. Her voice. FOR THEM. ❤️

Last week, our HIV Regional Campaign Manager Malone Wilson was welcomed to speak at the USP Students Networking & Connecting Night, and the conversation was one that needed to be had. 🌏

Malone spoke to the very real gap between those actively getting tested and those who aren't, reminding students that HIV in the Pacific is not new. It has been here since the 1980s. With more access to testing and prevention tools than ever before, the continued rise in cases raises one uncomfortable question: why?

Malone shared: "Universities are uniquely placed within the HIV Crisis. When students refuse to take the necessary safety precautions like using protection and getting tested, they risk going back and forth between their countries and Fiji, and becoming a statistic." He urged every student in the room to take those precautions seriously, for themselves and for the communities they return home to.

The tools exist. The knowledge exists. Now it's time for action, for them, and for all of us. ❤️
