As just one example of the diverse efforts that this important funding supports, watch a recent video from Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) featuring women served by the North Idaho AIDS Coalition in Couer d’Alene, ID and RAIN (Regional AlDS Interfaith Network) in Charlotte, NC, two of the many ASOs funded by BC/EFA that are reaching out to HIV positive women and women at high risk.
Additionally, at FCAA’s 2014 AIDS Philanthropy Summit, the Open Society Foundations designed a compelling session entitled “Addressing Violence against Criminalized Women: at the Intersection of Access to Justice and HIV,” that discussed the specific needs of criminalized women related to HIV and gender-based violence, and showcased interventions that have proven effective in addressing this emergent issue. You can now watch the archived session online.
