ICAP in #Eswatini kicked off its #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek events this week, meeting with stakeholders to raise awareness, foster understanding, and promote global action to combat #AMR.

Join ICAP's #WorldAIDSDay event, exploring the role of women in responding to #HIV/AIDS in the US and worldwide. Tues, Dec 3, 1:30-3pm ET. ICAP will take an illuminating and inspiring look at the role women have played -- and continue to play -- in responding to the challenge of HIV/AIDS in the United States and around the world. From health care provision to program design to activism and the struggles of women affected by HIV, this event will shine a spotlight on the essential -- and often overlooked -- role of women in the global march towards HIV epidemic control. The event will feature a screening of excerpts from the acclaimed documentary, Nothing Without Us: The Women Who Will End AIDS. Combining archival footage and interviews with female activists, scientists and scholars in the US and Africa, Nothing Without Us reveals how women not only shaped grassroots groups like ACT-UP in the U.S., but have also played an essential part in HIV prevention and treatment access throughout sub-Saharan Africa. From beauty parlors in Baton Rouge to the first HIV clinic in Burundi, this film looks boldly at the unaddressed dynamics that keep women around the world at high-risk for HIV, while introducing the remarkable women who are working to end this decades-old pandemic. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, featuring: Harriet Hirshorn, award-winning documentary filmmaker and director of Nothing Without Us: The Women Who Will End AIDS Terry McGovern, senior associate dean for Academic and Student Affairs in the City University of New York Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy Lillian Mworeko, executive director and founding member, International Community of Women Living with HIV Eastern Africa (ICWEA), and lead implementer for Community Led Monitoring (CLM) in Uganda Moderator: Wafaa El-Sadr, founder and global director of ICAP and executive vice president, Columbia Global More info: https://ow.ly/r24B50U9hr4
