On October 23, 2015, at the New Parkway Theater, one of the eighteen in-person events was held for the National Day of Action to End Violence Against Women Living with HIV:
Empowered Watch Party + Panel Discussion
The event was hosted by Positive Women’s Network – USA (PWN-USA) and sponsored by W.O.R.L.D., HIVE, Women’s HIV Program, and Transgender Law Center.
We watched this amazing video, “Empowered: Women, HIV & Intimate Partner Violence”:
After the video, there was a wonderful panel discussion and Q&A session on violence against WLHIV, trauma-informed care, and how we can make the world a better place for WLHIV.

Cecilia Chung, Senior Strategist at the Transgender Law Center and PWN-USA member

Loren Jones, Board of Directors member for PWN-USA
Shannon Weber, MSW, Director of HIVE and Coordinator of San Francisco Getting to Zero
