As Pink October comes to a close, our commitment to breast cancer awareness, early detection, and inclusive healthcare for everyone must continue beyond the pink ribbons.
Breast cancer does not stop when October ends, and neither should our efforts. Let us continue sharing accurate information, encouraging regular breast health awareness, challenging stigma, supporting those affected, and advocating for accessible, respectful, and inclusive healthcare for everyone.
At TNU, we believe every body matters, every life deserves care, and everyone deserves access to healthcare without discrimination.
“October may end, but the commitment to awareness, prevention, early detection, and solidarity continues.”

A stronger @UNAIDS must deliver for countries and communities: funded community leadership, human rights and safe access to care.
My article reflects on this next chapter, and the programme countries helping sustain UNAIDS.

Taking care of your breast health starts with knowing your body, recognising unusual changes, and understanding your screening options.
Don’t wait for symptoms to learn about your health. Speak to a qualified health professional today about the appropriate screening for you.
Know. Ask. Act.

Trans Bodies Deserve Care Too!
Breast health is everyone’s concern. Transgender and gender-diverse people deserve accurate health information, appropriate screening, and respectful healthcare free from stigma and discrimination.
“Your gender identity should never be a barrier to quality healthcare.”
Every body deserves dignity. Every person deserves care.

Today ,26 October 2026 marks Intersex Awareness Day. Between 0.05% and 1.7% of the world’s population is intersex, a number some people say is comparable to the world’s population that has red hair(yess!)
Intersex is an umbrella term used to describe a range of variations that can affect genitals, gonads, hormones, chromosomes, or reproductive organs. There are at least 40 known intersex variations.
To all Intersex folks, ViVa!! this #Intersexawarenessday

Knowing what is normal for your body can help you recognise unusual changes early. Always look out for new lumps, swelling, skin changes, or unusual nipple discharge, and seek medical advice if you notice anything different or concerning.
Your health deserves attention. Your body deserves care.

Gender-affirming care is not elective. It is primary healthcare, and in Uganda, it does not exist. Not in the public sector. Not even in the private sector. The gap forces people to self-medicate with unregulated products, unsupervised and at serious risk.
This episode makes the clinical case, the human rights case, and the policy case. It is the most direct conversation Turn the Tables has about what a functioning health system for trans people in Uganda must look like — and how far we are from building one.

Today, We celebrate the strength, resilience, and invaluable contributions of rural women farmers who feed our communities, nurture the land, and protect Mother Nature.
Rural women are at the heart of sustainable agriculture, food security, and climate resilience, yet their contributions often go unrecognized. It’s time to champion their leadership, promote gender equality, and ensure they have access to the resources, opportunities, and support they need and deserve.
Let’s empower rural women, so we can nurture communities and protect our planet.

We conducted a dialogue with support from @TranzNetwork under the #2LEADFellowship, bringing stakeholders together to strengthen safety and protection for trans and gender-diverse communities in Wakiso.
We agred to explore better documentation and stronger referral pathways.
Safer online. Stronger together.
TNU completed 12 peer-led Cyber Learning Circles, recording 360 participant attendances.
The sessions covered online privacy, secure messaging, strong passwords, two-factor authentication, social-media safety, doxxing and incident planning.

19 facilities mapped. A clearer picture of progress and the work still ahead.
The TNU mapping report brings together information on HIV care, prevention, STI management, mental health, GBV response, legal protection and other essential services for transgender and gender-diverse communities.
These findings can support better planning, stronger referrals and more accountable services.
Read the findings and join us in advocating for healthcare that is safe, respectful and accessible to everyone.
