International Community of Women Living with HIV (ICW)
International Community of Women Living with HIV (ICW)
About

ICW is the only global network by and for women living with HIV.

It was established in 1992 by women living with HIV as a response to the consistent silencing and marginalizing of the concerns of women living with HIV.

ICW is the voice of, and represents women living with HIV, in all their diversity. It works in 120 countries and through 10 regional networks: Asia Pacific, Caribbean, Central Africa, East Africa, Europe and Central Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), North America Southern Africa, and West Africa.

It is committed to addressing the multiple oppressions experienced by women living with HIV across the globe. It believes that its member’s experiences should inform what it does and how it does it – to this end it ensures a bottom up approach – where its members voices shape its agenda.

ICW Global, (their International Steering Committee (ISC) and Global Office) translates the practical needs and goals of its members into strategies and action that achieve its advocacy goals and objectives. It collectively challenges the necessary structures, systems, policies and programs in the HIV response and beyond in order to address the underlying concerns affecting women living with HIV and secure their needs, rights and hopes.

It is a women’s organization, with a highly skilled membership, who use a gender framework and feminist analysis to understand challenges and determine solutions.
