World Health Day 2023
The 75th-anniversary celebration of the World Health Organization will take place on April 7th, 2023, which is also World Health Day.
The World Health Organization was founded in 1948 to promote health and help the vulnerable - so that everyone, everywhere can achieve the highest level of health and well-being.
During WHO's 75th anniversary year, we can celebrate public health achievements that have improved the quality of life over the past seven decades. In addition, it is an opportunity to motivate action to deal with today's and tomorrow's health challenges.
International Transgender Day of Visibility
The experience of being Indigenous and transgender brings about a variety of unique intersectional challenges. Growing up in Tana (Deanu), Sápmi land, Levi Sørum (Sámi) lived most of his life rooted in Sámi culture and language. He says he feels fortunate to have attended Sámi kindergarten and one year of Sámi elementary school, in light of Norway’s history of attempting to erase Sámi culture. Besides being Sámi, Sørum is a transgender man – although he considers the term transgender more of a physical description than an identity.

In this podcast we hear from Disco Koki (!Xun), one of the trainees, who came to South Africa to receive training at XK FM, the South African government-funded radio station, that was set up to give the San people a voice.
