HIV and Disability Workshop
This seminar will also explore the intersections between disability and race as well as queerness, addressing how all three of these liberation movements are linked. These communities cannot reach freedom independently and therefore, they must fight alongside each other. This session is designed to address the unique challenges faced by women living with HIV who also experience mobility-related disabilities. We will provide tailored support, resources, and advocacy to help improve quality of life and access to care.
