Violations of all forms such as; conventional therapy, sexual harassment, corrective rape; High risky behaviors i.e.; drug and substance usage and abuse that are key influencing factors of HIV infections and vulnerabilities. As a reminder to the membership, Freedom and Roam Uganda as a closure of the annual year, dedicated a space through a Christmas gathering that was a candid space LBQ womxn shared different conversations of tips on how best safe they can keep, prevent and encourage healthy seeking behaviors and consented healthy choices.
