I Walk to support Women affected by HIV

August 31, 2020

The social challenges that women face in Ontario causes HIV to impact and affect us differently. Misogyny, gender-based violence, discrimination in healthcare, and other systemic factors can put women at higher risk of contracting HIV and can make it difficult for women living with HIV to stay connected to care. Many populations of women are at much higher risk, including trans women, Black women, Indigenous women, women who are sex workers, women who use drugs, women who have been incarcerated, as well as women who experience violence.

Through education, outreach, and collaboration, The AIDS Network’s Women’s Community Development Program raises awareness and informs local community organizations and groups that serve women. The program supports HIV-related services for women and works with local community organizations to promote the integration of HIV/AIDS into their current programs, services, and policies/procedures. The AIDS Network also works with staff at community organizations to build their knowledge and capacity to respond to women’s HIV-related needs.

The AIDS Network relies on the support of our friends and allies within the communities that we serve to deliver our most crucial programs and services. Show your support today and help us to continue our mission to respond to the impact of HIV. We imagine a world without new infection and long, healthy lives for people living with, affected by and vulnerable to HIV.
