When we talk about 'gender-transformative responses' in HIV, TB, and malaria services, we mean integrated approaches that eradicate gender-based violence, ensure bodily autonomy, and promote true freedom. Hear our Communications Lead Andrea Guillem Macías talk about it. #16DaysOfActivism #FundHerHealth

The way we tell stories about women and girls living with HIV or TB matters—language and framing make a difference. Addressing gender-based violence means amplifying survivors' voices and sharing their truths. Lídice López Tocón from Peru and Coordinator of Corresponsales Clave says it best. #16DaysOfActivism La forma en que contamos las historias de mujeres y niñas que viven con VIH o tuberculosis importa: el lenguaje y el enfoque marcan la diferencia.
