We’re all about partnerships; shifting women’s health from the margins to the centre will take collaborative effort. Always happy to support organisations and movements working to improve the material conditions of people’s lives - that’s what health is made of!
Received an unexpected call yesterday from @thelaymansdr letting me know that @Margin2Centre would be donating $50,000 JMD to Camp Wortley!
I’m incredibly grateful! Thank you!

We’re always happy to support these projects at @Margin2Centre through a mix of program/session delivery & financial support. Public health is more than access to health facilities & we always aim to look at health from a holistic & 360 pov can’t wait to do our session in August!

Yes we will 👏🏽
Nadine and Taitu reflect on the “iconic” HerLegacy photoshoot honouring Jamaican women who have been ventral to the advancement of women’s rights: intergenerational, celebrating women across economic backgrounds
(One day @Margin2Centre gonna be there)
Happy 2024 from the M2C Team. Thanks for all your support in 2023 and stay tuned for our upcoming project this year!

Yeah, and my instinctive response is to push back. A policy is easier to change than a law. And institutions exist to serve us, not the other way around. Discrimination serves no one.
This is some of the work @Margin2Centre is trying to with health systems.
We were so grateful for the opportunity to talk about feminist analyses of reproductive healthcare with students from the gender studies department! Samantha represented us well 🥳
I was so nervous for my first ever UWI guest lecture representing @Margin2Centre but it went much better than expected! Big up the team @robynas_ and @KareciaByfield and thanks @mooretalkja for recommending us 🤗

It’s true! If your periods stop you from doing your regular activities, talk to your doctor.
And doctors, listen to your patients! Pain is NOT normal, treat it as such and assess your patients thoroughly.
You have probably heard that pain with your period is part of being a woman. It is not true. Painful periods that impact your daily functioning are not normal.

We appreciate this kind of feedback so much 💕 Happy to partner with you and your team at the ALC, Sanya!

Books like these make necessary and useful information, that teens and pre-teens ✨should✨ have access to, about themselves and their bodies easy to digest, age appropriate and full of diverse perspectives and of course, accurate science backed knowledge!
Happy reading!
Advocacy through #HealthEducation!
In April we executed a #HealthLiteracy project w/ the Adult Learning Centre in Kingston. Thanks to the volunteers and participants who made this initiative so impactful! Together, we're expanding #AccessToHealth for underserved communities 💪🏽

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 reminder as we head into this wonderful month that the commercial visibility of Pride over the past few years has often excluded the voices of those most marginalized. 💗

If these doctors think 30-60 aborted foetuses a day is a lot, they should really hear how many of them our bodies abort spontaneously, regardless of whether we wanted to keep them. Sounds like their problem is really us having a choice.
Margin2Centre retweeted
If you agree that accessible, safe, quality abortion services should be available for women of all backgrounds in Jamaica, please consider supporting @margin2centre.
Our medical advocacy focuses on vulnerable women, shifting services and conversation to centre their needs.

As medical professionals, we have a responsibility to separate personal values from our professional duty. We are human, so we don’t always get it right. But to organise a medical fraternity around the denial of necessary medical services is unconscionable and unethical.

"Today on World Health Day 2023, let's take a moment to appreciate the invaluable gift of good health. It is not just a personal asset, but a shared responsibility that we owe to ourselves and to the society we live in.
Our first successful project thanks to the entire team 👏🏽 stay tuned for more images from our health literacy session!
Today was a great day! The @Margin2Centre team created an entire health literacy session tht was interactive & easy to understand. The research, proposal, creation, training & execution all by us! I’m immensely proud of the team & I couldn’t improve access to healthcare w/o them!
