Current Campaign

This year ICW held a series of interactive three day workshops designed to engage networks of women living with HIV, to provide key information about the SDG’s, develop an SDG priority charter for their network and needs and develop a strategy to participate in SDG prioritization and implementation at country level.

In partnership with ICW Southern Africa:

• Namibian Women’s Health Network: Windhoek, Namibia
• ICW Mozambique: Maputo, Mozambique

In partnership with ICW Eastern Europe and Central Asia:

• Eurasian Women’s Network on AIDS: Lviv, Ukraine

The culmination of these workshops included an opportunity to meet directly with key ministers and individuals who are tasked with moving the SDG’s forward at country level.

With support from UN Women we were also able to support five networks of women living with HIV to hold mini-workshops or projects in their countries to engage with the SDGs. The projects included mini-workshops and community meetings about engaging in SDG implementation.

• ICW Zimbabwe: Harare, Zimbabwe
• Thai Positive Women’s Network & ICW Asia Pacific: Bangkok, Thailand
• EVA, Russian Positive Women’s Network & ICW EECA: Saint Petersburg, Russia
• ICW Kenya: Nairobi, Kenya
• ICW République Démocratique du Congo, Kishasa: Democratic Republic du Congo

Ensuring that the SDGs are responsive to the needs of women living with HIV will require long-term and sustained activism, advocacy and investment over the next 15 years.
