MEETING REPORT > Prevention Now: An Integration Agenda for Women, by Women

June 15-16, 2015, Nairobi, Kenya
via CHANGE and AVAC

Introduction

Imagine a world in which a woman can walk into one health clinic and have all of her health needs met, free of discrimination, financial barriers, or bureaucratic inefficiencies. Her needs may include family planning and contraception; STI diagnosis and treatment; HIV prevention, treatment, and care; maternity care; safe abortion; and gender-based violence prevention and care. These services are intimately connected in the lives of women and girls but are not always integrated at the service level. And, in order for access to integrated services to become a reality, advocacy strategies directed at policies, national processes, and funding must also be linked.

Advocates working at the intersection of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) have propelled a new shift toward SRHR initiatives by donors, governments, multilateral institutions, and researchers that attempt to prioritize these very services. Global strategies such as the U.S. government's PEPFAR DREAMS partnership; the UNAIDS Action Framework Addressing Women, Girls, Gender Equality, and HIV; and the United Nations Global Strategy on Women's and Children's Health are some examples. National processes such as strategic plans, guidelines, or frameworks on HIV and the PEPFAR Country Operating Plans are also important advocacy targets... For the complete Meeting Report, click here.
