Prevention Now! Expanding Access to Female and Male Condoms through Advocacy and Programming
The Center for Health and Gender Equity invites you to attend
Prevention Now! Expanding Access to Female and Male Condoms through Advocacy and Programming
Tuesday, March 9, 2010
12:00noon - 1:30p.m.
Church Center for the United Nations, 2nd Floor
777 United Nations Plaza (corner of 44th St. and First Avenue) New York City
Female and male condoms are the only dual protection methods we have today that prevent HIV, STIs, and unintended pregnancy. While women can initiate male condom use by negotiating with their partners, female condoms give women a prevention option specifically designed for them to initiate. Despite the importance of condoms, they are not always accessible or well-programmed. Civil society advocacy is instrumental in securing the funding and political will needed to ensure access to female and male condoms, including comprehensive programming. Panelists will provide examples of successful civil society programming and advocacy for female and male condoms--including efforts that target youth--and will strategize about the future of advocacy for prevention technologies.
This event is free and open to the public, though space is limited. To RSVP, please contact Kiki Kalkstein at kkalkstein@genderhealth.org. |
