New Report from TWC and IWHRC at GTU Law Center

A Capitol Offense: The Gender Dimensions of Washington D.C.’s HIV/AIDS Crisis, was written with the goal of beginning a dialogue in the District about women’s unique needs in the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the way in which a human rights framework can best address the current gender gaps in District’s approach to HIV/AIDS.

The report is the result of a partnership between The Women’s Collective – an organization run by and for HIV-positive women in the District – working on the front lines of the HIV/AIDS crisis, and the International Women’s Human Rights Clinic at Georgetown University Law Center. Find out more, read the report, and spread the word!

Also, read the urgent and timely article published in Reproductive Health Matters titled: Protecting HIV Positive Women's Human Rights: Recommendations for the United States National HIV/AIDS Stategy, which builds off of work on the NHAS.

Since HIV is spread primarily through sexual practices or by sharing needles, prevention messages on this site may address these topics. HIV prevention materials funded by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) must be approved by local program review panels. However, the materials may be controversial to some viewers.
