It is not normal to normalize SGBV when 1 in 4 women have experienced violence from an intimate partner. SGBV cases have to be reported to law enforcement agencies to deter perpetrators @YouthHarvestFGH @UNFPAGhana @giz_gmbh @IDRC_CRDI

Insufficient resources to manage menstruation, such as sanitary pads & clean water, worsen the already existing social & economic inequalities against women #DontTaxMyPad #MenstruationIsNatural #DontTaxMyPeriod

Given the high cost of sanitary products, it has become imperative for the government to consider removing the taxes on pads.#DontTaxMyPad #MenstruationIsNatural @askbagbin @NAkufoAddo @MBawumia @fx_sosu @zanetorofficial
1. The government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Finance, must scrap the 20% import tax and 12.5% VAT tax on menstrual products in the 2024 National budget. #DontTaxMyPad #MenstruationIsNatural

The lack of accessibility and affordability of sanitary pads is forcing girls and young women to drop out of school thus widening the existing inequality gap in education and economic empowerment.#MHD #SRHR

1. The current cost of an imported sanitary pad is between GHC 20-GHC 40 which is above the daily minimum wage of GHC 14.88 #DontTaxMyPad #MenstruationIsNatural @RAkufoAddo @SBawumia @NAkufoAddo @askbagbin @fx_sosu @UNDPGhana @UNFPAGhana @PPAGGhana @MarieStopes_Gh @Afropopdevt

Myths and misconceptions on Family Planning(FP) lead to low FP uptake, rapid population growth among others. These impact on overstretched health, education, housing, financial and other social systems. This is unacceptable. Together, let's break myths and misconceptions on FP.

If it's not ON, it's not IN. Use a condom to stop the spread of HIV. @YouthHarvestFGH @khadiosy @albertnyaaba13 @PPAGGhana @UNFPAGhana @neearchie
Using a condom is a smart choice; it's not a sign that you are weak .

Adolescent childbearing represent a systemic failure to uphold the rights of girls. Strong systems must therefore be put in place by government of Ghana to provide sexual and reproductive health education to adolescents. #SRHR

The 20% import tax and 12.5%VAT on sanitary pads are gender discriminatory. #MHD2022 #AbolishTheLuxuryTaxNow

Climate change is not gender-neutral. Combined with other vulnerabilities, climate change has the potential of widening existing health inequalities. #OurPlanetOurHealth #OurHealthOurFuture @PPAGGhana @gyawubea @cmghana @londonna99
