Healthcare is more than an open door. It means being able to seek care, ask questions and make informed decisions without fear of judgement or discrimination. Lets start the conversation. Know your health. Know your rights. Know your care. #InclusiveHealthAccess #KnowYourCare

Contraception is power - the power to plan your future. But stigma, misinformation & discrimination are still barriers. Everyone deserves info without shame & care without judgment. #WCD2026 #SRHR #OutcastsUganda

A huge thank you to @IbuUganda  for supporting the TYI-Uganda Drop-In Center with essential medicines and basic health commodities. This support strengthens our capacity to continue providing accessible, confidential, affirming, and community-led SRHR and essential health services to the communities we serve. For many rural transgender and gender-diverse people, access to respectful and non-discriminatory healthcare remains a challenge. Community-led spaces such as our Drop-In Center therefore play an important role in ensuring people can access the health information, commodities, services, and referrals they need in an environment that respects their dignity and confidentiality. We deeply appreciate Ibu Ice Breakers Uganda for recognizing the importance of investing directly in community-led health responses. These essential medicines and commodities will help strengthen the services available through our DIC and support our continued efforts to bring healthcare closer to our communities. Are you in Mbarara or neighboring districts? Our Drop-In Center is here for you. Reach out to TYI-Uganda to access FREE SRHR services, essential health commodities, information, and referrals in a safe, respectful, and affirming environment. Partnerships that put resources directly into communities make a difference. #TYIUganda #SRHR #TransHealth #CommunityHealth #Mbarara #HealthForAll

Anonymity isn’t a mask for hate. Just because you’re behind a screen doesn’t mean your words don’t leave real scars. Hold yourself accountable and let’s make digital spaces safer for everyone. #EndTFGBVUG #MyDigitalRightsUG

The consequences of teenage pregnancy are quite severe. Including sexuality education in the school curriculum and out of school youth centers could be the only way to reduce the high numbers of babies having babies. #HOPESRHRChampions #teenagepregnancy #SRHR #crescentblood

Better TB care starts with inclusive healthcare. Inclusive services. Trusted providers. Better health outcomes. #HopeInMotion #InclusiveHealthcare #TYIUganda #GenderEqualityFund

Everyone deserves inclusive, stigma-free health care. Through health worker capacity building, we strengthened provider readiness to deliver integrated SRHR, HIV, TB and Malaria services. Supported by TYI Uganda & GEF, co-financed by CFK & ViiV Healthcare. #InclusiveHealth

Fear should never be a barrier to healthcare. #SafeAccess. #TrustedCare. Health for all. #HopeInMotion #InclusiveHealthcare #TYIUganda #GenderEqualityFund

Confidentiality is part of good healthcare. Privacy and trust help people speak openly about their health and receive care that meets their needs. For GSD communities, respect and confidentiality matter. #InclusiveHealthAccess #KnowYourCare #HealthWithDignity

When organizations connect, communities gain stronger pathways to support. By sharing knowledge, listening to community needs, and working together, we can strengthen responses to homelessness, violence, and challenges affecting marginalized people. Together, we turn connection into action. #CommunitySupport #Partnerships #MarginalizedCommunities

Your health information is personal. Confidentiality helps create the trust people need to speak openly and seek care. Lets understand confidentiality in healthcare today. #InclusiveHealthAccess #KnowYourCare #Healthwithdiginity

Ending AIDS requires more than medical progress. It requires creating an environment where the communities most affected by HIV can lead, access services without fear, and have the resources to shape the response. As our Director General, @richardlusimbo, reminds us, communities cannot lead from the shadows. Protecting their rights, investing in community-led responses, and trusting their leadership must remain central to the HIV response. #EndAIDS #CommunityLeadership #KeyPopulations

Inclusive healthcare is more than having a facility nearby. It means accessing care with respect, confidentiality and without fear of stigma or discrimination. Everyone deserves care they can trust. #InclusiveHealthAccess #KnowYourCare #HealthWithDignity

When women human rights defenders are targeted, it is not just individuals who suffer it is justice, democracy, and the voices of entire communities that are attacked. We stand in solidarity with every woman who refuses to be silenced. Until all are free. #HumanRights

Happy Easter , may we find love, connection, and the courage to embrace new beginnings. #happyeaster #hehasrisen

She wakes up every day knowing the world was not built for her. And she steps into it anyway. In a small rural community in Uganda, being transgender isn't just an identity. It's a daily negotiation. Which health facility might actually treat you with dignity, and which will turn you away? Whether today is a day your community feels safe, or one where you keep your head down. What it costs to carry a dream when the systems around you are designed to interrupt it. And still she persists. They persist. We persist. Today is Trans Day of Visibility. We are not here for symbolic visibility. Not the kind that lives in hashtags and organisational statements and dies by midnight. For many transgender and gender-diverse people in rural Uganda, visibility comes with real risk. Being seen is not always safe. What we need, what we are demanding, is not just to be seen. It is to be protected. Included. Respected. At TYI-Uganda, we see this every day. The resilience. The strength. But also the gaps in healthcare, in livelihoods, in justice that keep failing our communities. So today, we shift: From visibility to accountability. From recognition to rights. From survival to dignity. Rural trans people are human, not in theory. In lived reality. Our identities are valid. Our rights are non-negotiable. Until dignity, safety, healthcare, livelihoods, and justice reach everyone, our work is not done. Our existence is not up for debate. It is resistance. It is power. It is true. #TransDayOfVisibility #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransLives #InclusionForAll #TYIUganda

Rwenzori mountains are strong, and so are you – let's keep standing tall, proud, and unapologetic in our identities #TransDayOfVisibility #Uganda

The State of Trans SRHR in Uganda 2026 Conference Day 1 | Community Building Day — “Knowing Ourselves.” Before we faced the stakeholders, we faced each other. On March 4, trans and gender-diverse people from Central, Western, Eastern, and Northern Uganda gathered in a closed, safe space for the first time to map our health realities across HIV, TB, malaria, and SRHR. We mapped what happens when a trans person walks into a health facility in every region of this country. We explored the barriers disease by disease, region by region. We shared models that are already effective in our communities. And in the Storytelling Circle, some of us shared experiences we had never spoken aloud in a public space before. By the end of the day, we had reached a consensus. We agreed on our priority asks to the Ministry of Health, what we are prepared to contribute, and selected community presenters to carry our evidence into the stakeholder room the next morning. Day 1 was the foundation. “This conference was the first time in Uganda that trans and gender-diverse people from every region sat in one room, documented our health realities, and presented that evidence directly to the people who run the programmes that are supposed to serve us. That has never happened before. We have never had a national platform to say: this is what HIV access looks like for us, this is what TB looks like, this is what malaria looks like, this is what SRHR looks like. Now we do. And it was built entirely by the community — our evidence, our voices, our asks.” — Nana Millers, Executive Director, TYI-Uganda This work is implemented under the Gender Equality Fund, an initiative established by The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in partnership with GSK and ViiV Healthcare to support gender-transformative and community-led health responses. #TransHealthUganda #TransSRHR #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #TransRightsAreHealthRights #95-95-95 #GlobalFund #CommunityLed #TYIUganda
