The theme for International Adolescent Health Week 2023 (IAHW) is COUNTDOWN. With and for Adolescents: Building a Healthier and More Inclusive Future. GWIHR is a sex workers’ organization whose goal is to reduce mortality among sex workers as a result of sexual reproductive health-related infections, gender-based violence, and poverty.
In the statement titled ” International Women’s Day 2023: DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality”, GWIHR described IWD which is commemorated every year on 8th March, as a remarkable day to acknowledge and celebrate women’s achievements and also highlight gaps in inclusion and raise awareness of gender equality.
GWIHR organized a one-day sensitization workshop with
sex workers and the community of stakeholders. The workshop was held to counter the media
infodemic about sex workers, especially as it concerns their choice of language when reporting
issues of sex workers.
GWIHR joins the rest of the world to celebrate the human rights of all women and girls across the globe, as we strive to end gender equalities
The human toll of unsafe abortion in Africa is the highest in the world, where 56%of the world’s unsafe abortions occur, and women face the highest risk of mortality after unsafe abortion.
