Constituencies
The World AIDS Campaign is led by local efforts linked to global constituencies. Within this section you will find information and tools from constituency-based organisations and campaigns. While the information within this section is divided by constituency, we encourage you to browse through all of the sections as many of the key issues, priorities and campaigns intersect a variety of constituencies. If you have information you'd like to share with us about the constituency work you are doing, please email us.
In 2009 the World AIDS Campaign conducted research to evaluate the impact of the Constituencies Programme, the report below is the result of this research. The overall aims were to evaluate the impact of the programmes with a particular focus on women, youth and people who use drugs, gather recommendations on how to improve these initiatives and identify recommendations for the future.
Sex Workers
An effective HIV response requires recognising that sex workers rights are human rights. This section will be an opportunity to share information, links, and resources and keep our partners and people with a keen interest in sex work linked to, and updated on, global events in the world of sex work, human rights and HIV.
Women
Women’s rights are essential to the response to HIV and specific efforts are needed to ensure that they are integral in all HIV work. The Women's programme will contribute to campaigning, advocacy and mobilisation towards achieving Universal Access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support for women and girls.
