The
Nairobi 2007 Call to Action on HIV and AIDS builds on the commitments made by
others before us and key strategies identified by members of the Global
Coalition on Women and AIDS. Central to these are promoting the leadership of
women and girls, securing their human rights, ensuring women’s equitable
representation in decision making and expanding resources for women. By taking
leadership into our hands and uniting in strength as a movement of women, we
can lead the change we wish to see in the world. We unite in solidarity
regardless of HIV status, age, creed, race, gender, sexual orientation,
disability or ethnicity. We do this because we care about ourselves, our
families and our communities.

We believe that women’s leadership is essential in changing the course of this pandemic.
