Women Advocating for Change Webinar

The Friends of AIDS Foundation invites you to participate in a free webinar focusing on women and ways to strengthen their roles as effective community advocates. You will learn how to better use your personal story as an advocacy and education tool.

Advocacy is an important tool that supports women in their ongoing efforts to connect with and represent their communities and make a difference. According to the CDC, women account for 24% of all HIV infections among United States adults and adolescents. Of the total number of new HIV infections in US women in 2009, 57% occurred in blacks, 21% were in whites, and 16% were in Hispanics/Latinas. (CDC HIV among Women/Fact Sheet, 2009).

This how-to webinar will provide women who are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS with ways to increase the quality of their lives through advocacy. Content will include updates on relevant policy issues and tactics include developing local letter campaigns to address these policy issues and reflect the needs of women in your community.

Please register early as space is limited to allow time for audience participation.
