In Episode 3 of The Shame Epidemic: Our Role in Battling HIV, we continue the conversation with Dr. Janaka Weragoda, Hans Billimoria and Thanuja Jayawardene to explore how far we've come—and how far we still have to go. From breaking misconceptions about living with HIV to highlighting life-changing treatments that allow individuals to live a regular life. In this episode is about empowering through education and ending discrimination. It’s time to understand how confidentiality, awareness and systemic change in healthcare can rewrite the narrative.

The journey continues in Episode 2 of The Shame Epidemic: Our Role in Battling HIV. This time, we dive deeper into the stigma surrounding HIV, contraception, and sexual health—critical issues that affect us all but are often kept in the shadows. In this episode, Dr. Janaka Weragoda, Hans Billimoria, and our host, Thanuja Jayawardene, further tackle the gaps in sexual health awareness. They shed light on the fears surrounding contraception use, the stigma faced by those who do not conform to the heteronormative matrix, and the importance of mutual respect in relationships. This is more than just a conversation—it's a movement to reshape sexual health education and challenge the taboos that hold us back. Together, let's change the narrative. Tune in and join the effort to end the stigma and foster true understanding. #HIVAwareness #EndTheStigma #TheShameEpidemic #MASHoldings #ChangetheConversation

Meet the Changemakers behind Nobody Fights Alone, a programme that embodies hope, and the power of community. In Sri Lanka, over 2,500 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and Bodyline recognises the critical importance of early detection and compassionate care. Since 2021, the Nobody Fights Alone Cancer Programme has empowered over 9,500 women in our workforce with the knowledge to detect symptoms early, while actively supporting survivors during their recovery journey. By donating over 30 mastectomy bras every month to Apeksha Hospital and providing vital support to low-income families, we are helping women regain their confidence and comfort when they need it most. Here’s to the Changemakers who prove that together, nobody fights alone. #NobodyFightsAlone #BreastCancerAwareness #CervicalCancer #CancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #Prevention #MastectomyBras #Changemakers #MASPlanForChange #EmpoweredWomen #LivesChangedForGood
