Hello March and the first day of #womenshistorymonth! Did you know Tarana Burke founded the #MeToo movement in 2006 for victims of sexual violence to share their experiences with others, forming an alliance among survivors? A woman's voice is more powerful then you think! #twcdc

Living with #HIVIsNotACrime, but in more than 30 U.S. states, people are being imprisoned due to their HIV status. HIV criminalization laws consist of using a person’s positive HIV status in a criminal prosecution. Check https://t.co/Se8cj79AFP for more information! #twcdc

In the US, 20% of new HIV diagnoses in 2020 were among young people aged 13-24.
Only 6% of high school students have ever been tested for HIV. [https://t.co/7Z4gxmY6aW] Sex education should cover ALL health care options and promote awareness. Ask us about #testing & #PrEP! #twcdc

There are so many people of color's stories that are going unheard. Take the time today to recognize and acknowledge how HIV efforts are treated among the black community. #twcdc #nbhaad #hiv

[The Women's Collective @twcindc]

Diversity is so important when it comes to finding life saving treatments for HIV. We would love to see an increase of people of color in clinical trials. Advocate for better treatment for EVERYONE! #twcdc #blackhistorymonth #hivresearch
