Celebrating 10 Years of CHIWOS
The National Women and HIV Workshop Series
November-December 2020

To celebrate 10 years, CHIWOS hosted the National Women and HIV Workshop Series to engage and expand our knowledge sharing network, invite discussion, identify gaps, and develop goal statements and collective actions that will improve the health, healthcare, and wellbeing of women living with HIV in Canada.

 

The workshop series highlighted the diversity of voices, histories, and leadership of women living with HIV across Canada. With more than 200 registrants (inclusive of community members, clinicians, service providers, researchers, students, trainees, policy makers, funders, and people living with or affected by HIV who have living experience or experience working in the field of Women and HIV), the national event was a huge success.
