The @ThisisDavina's Pill Revolution highlights the difficulties many people experience accessing contraception. It's time to change that. This is why we launched our new guide on writing to your MP about your experience with contraception. ow.ly/54T850OJhsa #C4DavinaPill

Someone dies from AIDS every minute. If you’re a woman, young girl or child, that person is more likely to be you. But it doesn’t have to be this way. On #WorldAIDSDay I’m joining @UNAIDS to call on world leaders to #Equalize to end AIDS.

This is happening right now outside the QEUH, Glasgow. It won’t stop until @scotgov @NicolaSturgeon @MareeToddMSP legislate. Nobody should have to face this when accessing healthcare.

This is illegal in England but not in Scotland……..please sign the petition.
How can @scotgov declare that their current legislation is adequate for victim-survivors of stealthing? We need explicit and specific legislation, NOW. Sign our petition here: change.org/p/scottish-govern… #stealthing #scotgov #campaign #petition #makestealthingillegal

"We know women are likely to be diagnosed late, we test women to protect their babies, yet we are failing to get women to take PrEP to protect themselves." Great article featuring our friends @SophiaForum & @aidsmap on how access to PrEP creates barriers for woman in @theipaper

On this #WorldContraceptionDay, it’s clear that the communities most impacted by #COVID19—Indigenous peoples, Black people, Latinx people—also face the greatest barriers to accessing birth control. We must do better. #FreeThePill
