PWN’s Celebrate and Honor Black Women in the HIV Movement is back and it’s bigger, Blacker, and better than ever!

Join Positive Women’s Network-USA for the 3rd annual Celebrate and Honor Black Women in the HIV Movement! This year we are honoring our trailblazers—Black women who stand on the shoulders of so many powerful Black women that came before them and are fervently forging a path forward for themselves and many to follow.

PWN-USA holds itself accountable to Black women, and has long prioritized centering Black communities in our advocacy. We have committed ourselves to examining the ways that anti-Blackness, transphobia, and oppression show up in the spaces we create; and show our commitment by modeling how organizations can celebrate, honor, protect, pay, and respect Black women—especially in the HIV movement.
