On April 7th through 10th, 40 advocates, all women living with HIV/AIDS, from around the nation are gathered in DC to focus their energy and talent on the issue of reproductive justice for women living with HIV/AIDS. This meeting offered women a chance to connect, network, share ideas, and strategize on effective approaches to ensuring women living with HIV/AIDS have a visible presence in the reproductive justice movement.
 The national advocates network, organized and supported by TWC, is titled PLUS - Positive Leaders Uplifting Sisters. PLUS seeks to raise the visibility of women living with HIV/AIDS at the local, state, regional and national level to affect policy change.
We would like to thank all the PLUS members who traveled from near and far to share their vision and strength!
For more information on PLUS contact Iris Jacob, Policy & Advocacy Coordinator. |
