Spoke at @GeorgeInstIN’s #EvidenceToPolicy Dialogue on NCDs, Gender & UHC. Shared how LGBTQIA+ remain invisible in India’s health data, and how stigma & affordability gaps block access. Equity isn’t just new categories, it’s shifting power in data, design & delivery.

Air India confirms that flight AI171, from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, was involved in an accident today after take-off.
The flight, which departed from Ahmedabad at 1338 hrs, was carrying 242 passengers and crew members on board the Boeing 787-8 aircraft. Of these, 169 are Indian nationals, 53 are British nationals, 1 Canadian national and 7 Portuguese nationals.
The injured are being taken to the nearest hospitals.
We have also set up a dedicated passenger hotline number 1800 5691 444 to provide more information.
Air India is giving its full cooperation to the authorities investigating this incident.
Air India will release further information via regular updates on its X handle (xitter.cf/airindia) and on airindia.com.
Note to Editors: Air India requests media persons not to call the dedicated passenger hotline number.
Serving as an NGO Delegate was an honor—I fought for community-led HIV responses, human rights, and real representation in global policy. I highly recommend this role to anyone passionate about advocacy & governance. Young or experienced, your voice matters! #HIVAdvocacy #UNAIDS

If an LGBTQIA+ sibling comes out to their
heterosexual sibling, does acceptance follow automatically, or is there a long-drawn-out hesitation between them?
Find out in today's #paneldiscussion at 6pm (IST) with LGBTQIA+ persons and their non-queer siblings!
