WISE-UP+: Women Inspire Support and Empower to Unleash Positive Potential
WISE-UP+ is a structured series of workshops designed and led by women living with HIV and allies with the aim of building a dynamic community of women HIV advocates.
The objectives of the WISE-UP+ programmes are:
- to alleviate isolation – where there is no/low access to services, addressing
unmet needs in service design and delivery; - to increase knowledge and power – so that women are involved in healthcare
decision making, dialogue with health professionals, becoming activists; - to meet the needs of ALL women living with HIV – exploring health disparities specific to
culture, age, marginalised groups and intersectionality; - to provide a safe space where women can share experiences, be creative and develop
advocacy messages to inform policy and commissioning decisions; - to endorse positive sex messages so that women can work towards the lives and
relationships they want.
