PWN-USA Policy Fellowship Program
PWN Policy Fellowship Program
PWN’s Policy Fellowship is a year–long program designed to support women, transgender, and gender non-binary people living with HIV to gain skills in policy advocacy.
PWN’s policy fellowship seeks to build the pipeline of well-informed and strategic policy advocates who come directly from the communities most impacted by the HIV epidemic in the United States: BIPOC women, trans, and non-binary folx living with HIV, through training, coaching, and real world practice in policy advocacy.

PWN-USA Policy Agenda
PWN-USA works to change policies and create, support and advocate for programs that meet the needs of women living with HIV and our communities. Grounded in human rights and positive women’s leadership, we focus on six priority issues that impact women living with HIV: universal health care, economic justice, sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice; ending criminalization; trans rights, safety and justice; and ending violence against women living with HIV.
