International Community of Women Living with HIV Feminist School: Leadership, Advocacy and Movement Building

The ICWAP Feminist School: Leadership, Advocacy and Movement Building, is the third implementation and a variation of the ICWAP Feminist School in the region. It is a four–day interactive learning and consciousness raising experience for women living with HIV. It has been developed to enable women living with HIV to understand personal experiences, locate them politically and to develop strategies for transformation. Using feminist practices, this workshop has been designed to ensure that women see themselves as a community and to put into practice power to, with, and within – understanding that working together as a united conscious community is the secret to their success in their advocacy. The workshop report shares the overall learnings and outcomes by the participants.
