0 Tolerance day towards Female Genital Mutilation

In acknowledgement of 0 Tolerance day towards FGM, one of our amazing service users has shared their experience with the harmful cultural practice. FGM stands for Female Genitalia Mutilation, and is to this day practiced around the world on young women and girls. It carries short and long term consequences that significantly affect physiological and psychological well-being. AAF aims to help eradicate this practice and offer support and resources to those that have been affected. AAF is open to referrals via email Vawg@africadvocacy.org. If you have been affected by this video, or know someone who has, please do not hesitate to reach out via dms or email for support or answers to your questions. Together we stand to keep our sisters, mothers, aunts, daughters, nieces and friends safe.

Prep and Prejudice, Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an HIV prevention strategy that uses antiretroviral drugs to protect HIV negative people from HIV infection. People take antiretrovirals (ARVs) when they are at risk of exposure to HIV, in order to lower their risk of infection. PrEP is highly effective in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV, as long as the drugs are taken regularly, as directed. However, PrEP does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections or pregnancy.
