This toolkit was developed by the International Community of Women living with HIV Eastern Africa (ICWEA), a registered regional
advocacy network and membership-based organization founded in 2005 to provide visibility to women living with HIV. It is a result of a
study conducted by ICWEA between 2014 and 2015, with support from STOP AIDS NOW, under the Link Up project. The study focused
on sexual reproductive health and rights violations experienced by women living with HIV within HIV and Sexual Reproductive Health
clinical setting in Uganda. Consequently, ICWEA documented cases and interviewed women living with HIV and interacted with experts at
national, regional and global levels who are directly or indirectly involved in eliminating forced and coerced sterilization targeting women
living with HIV to develop the toolkit. The toolkit also consists of responses of women living with HIV from selected African countries and
information gleaned from the meeting of experts on Strengthened and Expanded Legal Services for People Living with HIV and Vulnerable
Groups convened in Nairobi in August 2015.

    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
