Today, Positive Women Together in Action hosted a workshop for Parliamentarians at Orion Piggs Peak Hotel, creating a platform for discussions on Gender Equality, Bodily Autonomy and Integrity, HIV prevention, and addressing the root causes of Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

The workshop also featured a presentation by One Billion Rising Eswatini which focused on unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, barriers that prevent women and girls from accessing healthcare services, and the social and economic challenges that contribute to these issues. Discussions highlighted the importance of creating safe, accessible, and responsive health systems that protect the rights and wellbeing of all people.

As part of the dialogue, Parliamentarians/ Government were urged to strengthen their commitment to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) by: • Fixing confidentiality gaps within healthcare services to encourage more people to seek care. • Operationalising constitutional provisions that protect the rights of women, girls, men, and boys. • Developing and implementing a comprehensive SRHR Code. • Enacting, reviewing, and strengthening laws that promote gender equality and protect human rights. • Providing adequate budget oversight to ensure resources are allocated to health and gender-related programmes. • Monitoring the implementation of policies and laws to ensure they are effective. • Promoting accountability among institutions responsible for delivering services. • Representing and advocating for the needs, rights, and wellbeing of women, men, girls, and boys in all communities.

Together, we can build a society where equality, dignity, health, and justice are a reality for everyone.

Today, 5 June 2026 we honor and celebrate the courage, resilience, and strength of people living with HIV (especially women, adolescent girls and young women in their diversity) who have navigated decades of challenges, stigma, loss, and change. HIV Long-Term Survivors Day is a time to recognize the invaluable contributions of long-term survivors who have been at the forefront of the fight against HIV and whose experiences continue to inspire generations and generations.

As we commemorate this day, we remember that while significant progress has been made in HIV prevention, treatment, and care, the journey is NOT OVER. Long-term survivors continue to face unique health, social, and economic challenges that require ongoing attention, support, and investment.

Positive Women Together in Action stands in solidarity with all long-term survivors, especially women and girls living with HIV, whose strength and determination have transformed communities and advanced the response to HIV.

Today, we celebrate your stories, honor your resilience, and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind. ❤️❤️

"It Is Still Not Over."

📢Today, May 17th, we join the global community in observing the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial 🕯

This day is a sacred space for us to pause, unite, and reflect. Under this year’s vital theme: Light The Legacy: Remember. Advance. Act. We look back with love❤️, stand tall in the present, and march forward with fierce determination.

📌REMEMBER: We light our candles to honor the millions of precious lives lost to AIDS-related illnesses. We carry their memories in our hearts, remembering their names, their strength, and the deep resilience of the women, men, boys, girls in all our diversity and communities who paved the way for us. 🫡

📌ADVANCE: We celebrate the incredible progress we’ve made. Today, science and advocacy give us the power to live long, healthy, and thriving lives. We continue to advance health rights, education, and support systems that uplift women, girls and families.

📌ACT: Our work is far from over. Stigma, discrimination, and inequalities still stand in the way of health and dignity. Today, we renew our unwavering commitment to act to dismantle barriers, challenge prejudice, and ensure every person living with HIV is wrapped in support🫂, love❤️❤️❤️, and equal opportunity.

A legacy is not just what we inherit, it is what we build together. To every woman, sister, and ally: your life, your voice 🗣, and your health matter.

Let us keep shining our light, standing hand-in-hand, and carrying the legacy forward.

School should be for learning, not for fear. 📚💙

Bullying hurts children in many ways:
❌ Physical: Hitting or pushing.
❌ Verbal: Mean words and teasing.
❌ Digital: Bullying through social media (Cyber-bullying).

Nearly 32% of Nigerian teens have faced bullying. This has to stop.

The Federal Ministry of Education, Nigeria has launched the National Policy on Anti-Bullying. These are new rules to keep our schools safe, friendly, and respectful for everyone.
