ICW
HLM 2021 Side Event - ICW Non-Negotiables
NON-NEGOTIABLES TO ACHIEVING GENDER EQUITY & SRHR FOR ALL
An intersectional panel discussion featuring self-identifying women leaders of networks of women living with HIV and key populations to discuss how to achieve gender equality in practice. The session will center on and build on ICW's non-negotiables list and create a platform for an important discussion of why mainstreaming gender equity and equality throughout the HIV response is essential to achieving the last mile.
The panel speakers will bring to light the ways in which misogyny and sexism impact the HIV response and explore the intersectionality of multiple identities and the layered challenges of increased surveillance, vulnerability and risk for women in key populations and importantly the ways in which a focus on gender equality and equity can support more effective supports for all self- identifying women.
