During the XVIII International AIDS Conference in Vienna 2010, as Women ARISE, we promoted the participation of women committed with gender perspective in plenary sessions and other types of activities. Rachel Arinii, a young woman from ARROW and Paula Akugizibwe from ARASA spoked at the opening session; Everjoice Win from Action AID International and Meena Seshu from SANGRAM spoke in different plenary sessions, and Patricia Perez of ICW in the closing session.
These were not the only public appearances of women involved in Women ARISE, but these are the ones we can put online for now. We will soon upload other activities.
