Washington. In 2002\, National Minority Health Month received support from the U.S. Congress with a concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 388) that “a National Minority Health and Health Disparities Month should be established to promote educational efforts on the health problems currently facing minorities and other populations experiencing health disparities.” The resolution encouraged “all health organizations and Americans to conduct appropriate programs and activities to promote healthfulness in minority and other communities experiencing health disparities.” \nSource: https://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/nmhm/      and https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/programs/edu-training/nmhm/ \n  \nPlease consider supporting the following organizations: \nBlack Health Commission – Florida\, USA \nSisterReach – Tennessee\, USA \nOra Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation – Georgia\, USA \nImpact Jamaica – Georgia\, USA and Montego Bay\, Jamaica \nGeneration Chosen – Ontario\, Canada \nBrAIDS for AIDS – Ontario\, Canada \nBlack Physicians of Tomorrow – Ontario\, Canada \nAfro-Canadian Positive Network of BC – British Columbia\, Canada \nLady Ballers Camp – Ontario\, Canada \nReach Within – St-George’s\, Grenada \nEnable the Disable Action – Goma\, Democratic Republic of Congo \nNAZA AGAPE FOUNDATION – Nigeria \nAfrican Aid Internationsl – Guinea \nCaribbean Bone Marrow Registry – Caribbean\, Africa \nHelpers Social Development Foundation – Nigeria \n

SUMMARY:Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Week - Canada
DESCRIPTION:Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Week\nFebruary 112 – 16\, 2024 \n\n\n\nSexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Week (SRH Week) is a yearly campaign designed to raise awareness on sexual and reproductive health and promote resources to improve community health in Canada. \nSRH Week will take place from February 112 – 16\, 2024 with the theme Get the Facts! \n\n\n\nThroughout history\, advocacy has been essential to improving access to sexual and reproductive health care and ensuring that our human rights are upheld. Advocacy means trying to make changes. We can advocate to build support for a cause\, to influence leaders and decision makers\, to build an environment that enables all of us to exercise our rights\, or to change laws and policies.\n\n\nIn Canada and all over the world\, advocates fought and are still fighting for access to contraceptives\, abortion decriminalization\, effective treatments for HIV\, gender-affirming surgeries\, comprehensive sex-ed\, to stop harmful practices\, and more. So much progress has been made due to the tireless work of people who wanted better for themselves and their communities. So much is still left to do so that no one is left behind. \nThis year\, Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Week puts the spotlight on changemakers who have led us\, inspired us\, and worked hard to transform people’s lives. This year\, we celebrate the crucial role of advocates\, agitators\, and activists in making the world a place where everyone can be healthy and thrive. We hope this campaign inspires you all to continue agitating\, advocating\, and resisting! \n\nSource : https://www.actioncanadashr.org/\n  \nPlease support the organization that work to raise awareness on Sexual & Reproductive Health:\nSisterReach: USA \nAtlanta GLOW: USA \nFoundation for Advancement of Haitian Midwives\, Inc (FAHM): HAITI & USA \nWalkfree Children’s Foundation: AFRICA \nAfro-Canadian Positive Network of BC: CANADA

SUMMARY:Sibaya in Eswatini
DESCRIPTION:Sibaya\nOn October 30th\, Eswatini\, a small\, landlocked country in Southern Africa\, comes alive with vibrant celebrations\, colorful attire\, and a sense of unity and pride. This annual event\, known as “Sibaya” holds immense cultural and historical significance for the local population. To understand the importance of Sibaya\, one must delve into the origins\, traditions\, and the contemporary relevance of this unique event. \nOrigins of Sibaya\nThe word “Sibaya” itself is derived from the Swazi language and means “a royal meeting” or “gathering.” The tradition of Sibaya can be traced back to the pre-colonial era when the Swazi monarchy was first established. Historically\, it was a platform for the Swazi people to come together to discuss matters of great importance\, make collective decisions\, and address the concerns of the community. These gatherings were integral in maintaining a sense of unity and identity among the Swazi people. \nSignificance of Sibaya\nSibaya holds paramount importance in the contemporary context of Eswatini\, a country known for its rich cultural heritage. The event acts as a symbol of unity\, cultural preservation\, and a deep connection between the monarchy and its subjects. Here are a few key elements that make Sibaya significant: \n\nCelebration of Swazi Culture: Sibaya is a celebration of Swazi culture\, a testament to the nation’s resilience in preserving its unique traditions despite external influences. During the event\, people don traditional attire\, dance to the rhythm of traditional music\, and showcase their artistic talents.\nCommunal Decision-Making: Traditionally\, Sibaya was a forum for the people to address concerns and make collective decisions. While the political landscape of Eswatini has evolved with a constitutional monarchy in place\, the tradition of gathering and voicing concerns persists.\nConnection with the Monarchy: The presence of the Swazi monarch at Sibaya is a significant aspect. It underscores the strong bond between the royal family and the Swazi people. The King takes the opportunity to address the nation\, reinforcing the importance of unity and cultural preservation.\n\nHow Sibaya is Celebrated Today\nIn modern times\, Sibaya has evolved into a more ceremonial event. The Swazi monarch\, King Mswati III\, plays a central role in the proceedings. Citizens gather at Ludzidzini Royal Residence\, the traditional royal headquarters\, where the King\, adorned in his royal regalia\, addresses the nation. He offers guidance and reflects on the state of the nation. Citizens\, in turn\, express their loyalty and commitment to the monarchy. \nThe day is marked by colorful processions\, with participants wearing traditional attire and adorned with intricate beadwork and accessories. Dances and songs add to the festivities\, creating a lively and joyous atmosphere. Many Eswatini citizens also take part in feasts and cultural displays\, showcasing the culinary delights and artistic expressions of the nation. \nSignificance for the Local Population\nFor the people of Eswatini\, Sibaya is a day of cultural pride and national unity. It reminds them of their shared heritage and traditions\, reinforcing the values that hold their society together. While it has transformed from its historical role as a decision-making platform\, it remains a testament to the enduring resilience of Swazi culture in the face of modernization and globalization. \nSibaya in Eswatini is more than just a cultural celebration; it is a representation of the Swazi people’s enduring connection with their traditions and their monarchy. As the nation celebrates Sibaya on October 30th\, it reaffirms the importance of cultural preservation\, unity\, and a shared sense of identity. It is a day when Eswatini proudly showcases its rich heritage to the world\, reminding everyone of the importance of holding onto one’s roots in an ever-changing global landscape. \n  \nPlease consider supporting the local community in Eswatini by donating to the following organization:\nThe Good Vine  – Manzini\, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland)\, Africa

SUMMARY:Emancipation Day - Canada
DESCRIPTION:Emancipation Day\nOn March 24\, 2021\, the House of Commons voted unanimously to officially designate August 1 Emancipation Day. It marks the actual day in 1834 that the Slavery Abolition Act came into effect across the British Empire. \nCanadians are not always aware that Black and Indigenous Peoples were once enslaved on the land that is now Canada. Those who fought enslavement were pivotal in shaping our society to be as diverse as it is today. \nTherefore\, each August 1\, Canadians are invited to reflect\, educate and engage in the ongoing fight against anti-Black racism and discrimination. \nEmancipation Day celebrates the strength and perseverance of Black communities in Canada. \nThe Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 ended slavery in the British Empire on 1 August\, 1834\, freeing over 800\,000 enslaved Africans and their descendants in parts of the Caribbean\, Africa\, South America as well as Canada. \nSource : https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/emancipation-day.html \n  \nConsider supporting organizations that are actively celebrating and raising awareness on this day:  \nNewmarket African Caribbean Canadian Association \nOntario Black History Society \nAfrican Identity and Culture Centre

SUMMARY:Liberia Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Liberia Independence Day\n  \nEvery 26 July is Independence Day in Liberia\, commemorating the 1847 declaration of independence by the US colony of Liberia. \nBeginning in 1822\, freed slaves from the US began colonizing what today is the nation of Liberia on the west African coast. The colonists ultimately set up a government modeled on the US Constitution and declared their independence in 1847. The US did not oppose and try to put down the “rebellion”. \nHowever\, there was long tension in Liberia between the descendants of settlers and those of the original tribes inhabiting the region. This tension played a big role in the civil war that raged in Liberia for 14 years\, beginning in 1989. Finally\, a free election put Charles Taylor in office as president in 1997\, and democratic rule was reaffirmed. \nOn 26 July\, Liberia remembers its declaration of independence and its establishment as the first free black republic on the continent. There are parades\, parties\, a grand ball for the nation’s leaders in Monrovia\, and a host of other patriotic events. \n  \nConsider supporting organizations that are actively serving and elevating the local people of Liberia: \nEmpowerment Squared \nGlobal United Diaspora\, INC. \nYour Foot\, My Foot Foundation Inc

SUMMARY:Malawi Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Malawi Independence Day\n  \nIndependence Day in Malawi is held each 6 July to commemorate the day in 1964 when independence was declared from British rule. Malawi was not opposed militarily by the U.K. when it declared its sovereignty. \nWhat is today Malawi came under British control in 1891\, and it was named the colony of “Nyasaland” in 1907. After World War II\, the desire for self-rule grew all over Africa\, and a “Nyasaland African Congress” was formed to promote independence. \nHowever\, what is today Malawi\, Zambia\, and Zimbabwe were all combined into a single confederated colony under British supervision in 1953. This move proved unpopular and only spurred on the independence movement in Malawi\, despite the fact that limited autonomy had been granted to the new “mega-colony”. \nFinally\, the “Central African Federation” broke apart in 1963\, making Nyasaland a separate colony again. In 1964\, the country declared its independence and renamed itself “Malawi”. \nEvery 6 July there are special flag-raising ceremonies\, patriotic speeches\, and political rallies held throughout Malawi. Many municipal streets will be decorated\, and there may be various celebratory public events and private family get-togethers. \n

SUMMARY:Cape Verde Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Cape Verde Independence Day\nEvery 5 July is Independence Day in Cape Verde. This public holiday celebrates the freedom of Cape Verde from Portuguese rule on 5 July\, 1975. \nThe human history of Cape Verde began with the islands’ discovery and colonisation by Portugal in the 1400’s. Up until that time\, the islands were uninhabited. During the 1500’s\, Cape Verde became a stop-off point in the African slave trade\, and many slaves were also brought to live on the islands. \nBy the 1800’s\, hard times fell on the islands\, and the economy crashed. And this situation continued for many years. After World War II\, Cape Verde’s people began to demand independence\, but this too would be a long struggle. \nAt first\, Cape Verde and Portuguese Guinea fought together for independence from Portugal. In 1972\, continental Guinea escaped foreign rule\, while Cape Verde struggled on. But after a revolution in Portugal itself in 1974\, Cape Verde finally was given its freedom in 1975.
