Women Living with HIV Inspire Change! Fight for equality, dignity and fairness
The International Community of Women Living with HIV Eastern Africa (ICWEA) joins the rest of the world to commemorate the International Women’s Day and commit to breaking barriers to women’s access to equality, dignity, fairness , quality health care services and to pursue justice and inclusion.
We commend our governments for the tremendous efforts in recognizing the importance of promoting gender equity, by putting in place mechanisms including the policy framework and also signing the international and regional human rights instruments and treaties that promote gender equality, conform to and protect the human rights of people including women living with HIV (WLHIV).
As we commemorate the International Women’s day and celebrate the many achievements that women have attained over the years, this year’s global theme “Inspiring Change” challenges us but also encourages advocacy for women living with HIV advancement everywhere.
Good day!
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Nancy, a radio journalist working with a community/learning radio station in Kakamega, Western Kenya and I run a weekly radio programme on HIV and AIDS in conjuction with the AIDS CONTROL UNIT at my place of work; 103.9 MMUST FM.
I have read widely about your activities, and I am most interested to further know what you do, other activities that you undertake here in Kenya, and if there’s a way that your organization can incorporate radio journalists in your team to help spread your agenda. Especially those that produce programs in tandem with your agenda.
May I ask, do you have a network of journalists across the region that are able to help with your agenda? My interest lies with the possibility that I might be able to generate news stories from activities you undertake or positive broadcast programs to our listener-ship and much more.
Awaiting a positive response from you.
Kind Regards,
Nancy Imali
