I was delighted to attend day one of the #UCHD2025 during which I presented an oral abstract on the social determinants of access and uptake of contraceptives among urban refugees in Uganda. I appreciate the convenors, @cehurduganda and @MinofHealthUG

There is a worrying growing trend. Young heterosexual males are increasingly leaning towards extreme right wing ideologies. They are infact pushing anti gender stereotypes, misogyny & toxic masculinities thru online spaces. I think we need to counter such narratives & rhetoric #feminism #gender

Uganda has declared the end of Ebola disease outbreak, less than three months after the virus was confirmed. Robust, coordinated response by the government, supported by WHO and partners, was critical in stopping the outbreak.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Trump dismantled DEI in the US and he is doing mass deportation of immigrants who are ofcourse majorly non white people. But he is now criticizing South African land policy because it affects white people. He even offered them a refugee status. Typical WHITE SUPREMACY

He dismantled USAID because he wants to put America first. How is an executive order on South Africa putting America first? This is racism and classism.

The Trump administration wants the US to permanently occupy Gaza? So did people expect any much better from Trump yet he is Netanyahu’s flying monkey.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people
