Women's Organizations Release National HIV/AIDS Strategy Implementation RecommendationsSeptember 13, 2010 This article was provided by the U.S. Positive Women's Network.
The report card and analysis will be released at Tuesday's U.S. Conference on AIDS session entitled Monitoring the U.S. National HIV/AIDS Strategy: A Human Rights Approach (see session details below). Read the complete report card and analysis at: www.womenhiv.org/gender-audit. The Strategy makes incredible strides in identifying the multiple structural and social factors that lead to communities' disparate vulnerabilities to HIV. Yet, the Strategy does not identify women as a priority population or recommend women-specific campaigns and programs despite the disparate impact of the epidemic on women of color and the many people who depend on them. Read the Executive Summary of our Gender Audit and recommendations for NHAS Implementation here. Participating organizations look forward to working with the Office of National AIDS Policy, other federal partners, community-based organizations, and private partners to develop necessary women-centered reforms, programming and campaigns in line with the goals of the new U.S. National HIV/AIDS Strategy. In other news, PWN is still rockin USCA! We facilitated a lively discussion today on Testing, Linkage and Care Plus: Implications and Considerations for Women and Families, attended yesterday's "The Other City" movie screening, and participated in several daylong Institutes on Sunday.
