Advocacy
Positive Women advocates with, and on behalf of, women living with HIV. Some of the big issues we address are gender equity, discrimination, stigma and women’s access to healthcare. We advocate for the rights of individual women and the rights of all women living with HIV to lead full and healthy lives free of discrimination and stigma.
