National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day What is National
Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day? National Women and Girls
HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a day to "Share Knowledge. Take
Action." The nationwide observance held each March 10 sheds
light on the disease's often overlooked impact on women and
girls and empowers people to make a difference. Every year on
this important day, thousands of people, advocacy organizations,
and local and state public health officials share the facts
about HIV/AIDS and how it affects women and girls. They also
take action in a variety of ways, such as: - Telling women and
girls how to prevent HIV/AIDS - Getting more of them to get
tested - Providing services to those living with the disease -

and help shape the future for women and girls. Find out what you
can do! Read the OWH Director's Dear Colleague letter (PDF, 192
