Call for submissions! 📢

Big tech platforms systematically discriminate against women’s health companies by removing their ads and suspending their ad accounts due to gender bias practices.

This is unacceptable as it:

💻 Limits revenue generation
💻 Impacts consumer access to critical health information
💻 Perpetuates the funding gap. (when companies can’t advertise or reach consumers, they can’t reach sales targets, hindering investor interest)

The recent EU policy “Digital Services Act” is designed to create fair spaces where women’s health companies can effectively advertise their critical services. But it needs to be exercised.

You can help by providing the evidence needed!

We can have safer s*x if we know how to have good s*x.

We are so excited that The Pleasure Project’s have launched! 🥳

Pleasure is arguably the main reason people have s*x, and yet has been absent from or s*xual health interventions, despite evidence showing that it is more effective. It prevents more unsafe s*x to talk about , and have honest conversations about what you want from your s*x life.

Tomorrow is and we’d like us all to remember that is an essential component of and fundamental to our overall health and well-being. We know that focusing on adverse outcomes and aspects of s*x can often have the opposite effects from what is intended because people with a positive view of their s*xuality are more likely to engage in safe behaviors.

The Case for Her is taking charge to back female s*xual pleasure for a whole and healthy world with our female s*xual pleasure investment portfolio including The Pleasure Project, AmplifyChange, Unbound, and Youth Development Labs. But we can’t do it alone. We need more funders — from institutions like the World Health Organization (WHO) to individual private investors — join us!

AmplifyChange, supported by The Pleasure Project and in partnership with The Case for Her, is launching a project to introduce pleasure-based approaches to s*xual and reproductive health and rights advocacy in the Global South.
