In 2012 I started working as a Peer Educator in HIV/AIDS and sexual health at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. I have since grown and engaged in social justice advocacy, specifically working around reproductive Justice, which has led to my role as an Advocacy and communications manager for the Sexual and Reproductive Justice Coalition of South Africa. Currently sitting on the National Population Unit for ASRHR, I have just been accepted to join the Youth Coalition for Reproductive Rights, Spoke at a side event on the margins of the 33rd Human Rights Council Session entitled “Global Action on Safe and Legal Abortion” in September 2016,and the 34th session on "Comprehensive Sexuality Education". Also with the International AIDS Society as a youth champion for Key Populations.
My passion is in overall reproductive Justice (abortion, CSE, non-discrimination, sexwork decriminalisation, structural and physical violence against women and based on SOGI) , and this was sparked by my awareness of social injustices, particularly those that affect folk in the Global South in all our diversities.
