Impact Story – Health Disinformation

SRHR and Disinformation
#Disinformation and #misinformation on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in online spaces pose a threat to the well being of individuals and undermines the potential of digital health services. Siphokuhle Moyo,  is a #SASA Champion from #Mawabeni, #Mzingwane District and a beneficiary of the “Building Resilience Against Disinformation”  Mzingwane cohort. Siphokuhle highlights on how the workshop enhanced her work as a #SASA champion in her community.

As a SASA champion, the workshop on Building Resilience Against Disinformation enhanced my skills to combat the spread of false information on Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR), HIV Prevention medication, Gender Based Violence (GBV) and on the use of power dynamics.

It also empowered me to help my community by enhancing their understanding on the importance of verifying information through relevant sources and stakeholders because so much disinformation and misinformation is always circulating on different media plartforms .
