ICW North America (ICW-NA) envisions a world where all women living with HIV live free of gender oppression, realizing and claiming our full rights inclusive of sexual, reproductive, legal, social, economic and health rights.
ICW-NA exists to lead efforts to secure and improve the quality of life for women living with HIV in Canada and the United States. We do this by mobilizing, organizing, advocating, mentoring and raising consciousness on the issues and policies that directly impact our lives.
I AM ICW is a membership campaign that is rooted in ICW-NA's (re)commitment to engage and support not only a regional but a global feminist movement of self- identified women and girls living with HIV. It is a celebration of our history and the power of the International Community of Women Living with HIV sisterhood. I AM ICW will ask old members to recommit to our sisterhood and asks new members to join. Through building our collective networks, we can create opportunities to reduce isolation, raise consciousness, engage in joint advocacy and share knowledge. Throughout 2020 and 2021 we will foster programs for all women living with HIV to connect regionally and globally with other women living with HIV.
ICW-NA is a newly developing region within the broader International Community of Women Living with HIV. The communities of self-identified women living with HIV in North America are diverse and have different back stories, needs and experiences. This campaign is a celebration of our diversity and our sameness. Using feminist principles, Where Do You Fit In? will give ICW-NA members the ability to define the space that they would like to "fit in" in ICW-NA.
Everyone is welcome, because all women living with HIV have a home within ICW. ICW-NA will be collaborating with other networks to work in synergy and fill in gaps. Being a member of another network does not stop you from being a part of ICW – it broadens your family, connections and reach. It removes silos and helps us meet all the needs of the women that we serve. It creates opportunities for collaboration and celebration.
The activities involved in this campaign will build on and be in conjunction with the I AM ICW campaign activities through 2020 and 2021.
