The Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) Announces Resolution on Women (2012)

On May 17th, the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) announced a resolution to specifically address the needs of women living with and affected by HIV in the U.S. The resolution calls for relevant federal agencies to update the National HIV/AIDS Strategy to include detailed provisions, goals and metrics to measure progress for women, a critical first step in tackling related health care disparities.

The resolution was initiated and carried through by the 30 for 30 campaign, a coordinating body of HIV and reproductive health organizations in the U.S. working to ensure that the needs of women, including transgender women, are addressed in all relevant HIV funding, programs and policies. The Center for HIV Law and Policy is a participating member.
