Depression and HIV.



Depression is an illness that is common in people living with HIV. However, it is often a missed diagnosis. Depression usually develops over a few weeks.
It is a general feeling of low mood linked with physical symptoms. It is caused by by an imbalance of certain chemical in the brain. If you feel down most of the time, sleep badly at night, do you feel angry or think of even death alot??
Remember it is okay to feel all this, it is okay to be angry, sad. Don't feel all this alone, reach out, seek help and support from anyone you feel will be of help
You are important, you are loved and you are strong 💪, so no matter what situation you're going through it will get better with time and with support 😊
For now
Turus 🖐️

Human rights are entitlements that every human being should enjoy regardless of their economic or social status. In many occasions the rights of people living in the slum community is ignored by duty bearers and government. Due to low levels  of education and little exposure, the slum residents are not able to demand for the rights when they are trampled upon. In this program, we empower individuals to be aware of their fundamental rights through civic education and advocacy. We also network with other human rights organizations to bring the human rights violation into the limelight and provide paralegal support to victims of human rights abuse. Violence against women (VAW) is a fundamental violation of human rights, it amounts to a global health crisis, and it is a serious obstacle to development in sub-Saharan Africa. VAW contributes to other major challenges such as the spread of HIV and AIDS, maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, and increasing levels of poverty as it affec
