Friday, October 23, is the annual Day of Action to End Violence Against Women Living With HIV, an awareness day spearheaded by the Positive Women’s Network-USA (PWN-USA). Events and campaigns are held throughout the country to raise awareness of the fact that HIV-positive women are more likely to experience intimate partner violence than women who are HIV negative.
Earlier this week, the Greater than AIDS team launched a campaign titled “Empowered: Women, HIV & Intimate Partner Violence.” The campaign includes videos, informational graphics and social media content—search for the hashtag #WeAreEmpowered—and it was produced in partnership with the National Domestic Violence Hotline, loveisrespect, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, PWN-USA and The Well Project, with additional support from The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
This year, PWN-USA is seeking to make trauma-informed care a part of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy objectives and a legacy of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program. For details on that effort and how you can support it, click here.
And for a PWN-USA press release about the Day of Action—including a webinar of relevant info and a list of five things you can do to support the cause—click here.
The October events coincide with the National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
