blogFCAA BLOG: DC PrEP FOR WOMEN INITIATIVE


Access to PrEP will be just one of the issues we will explore in "Health Equity for Women of Color" session on December 6th.  In advance, read this interview with Channing Wickham and Ashlee Wimberly of the Washington AIDS Partnership about the D.C. PrEP for Women initiative, a public-private partnership between the Washington AIDS Partnership and the D.C. Department of Health's HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STD, and TB Administration (HAHSTA). 
 
 
"I believe to be effective as Funders Concerned about AIDS, we must also be funders for LGBTQ issues.  We must be grantmakers in health, international human rights funders, and funders for reproductive health and rights."

overviewThis quote, from John Barnes, ended the opening address at the 2015 AIDS Philanthropy Summit last December. At the core of this statement is FCAA's vision that we must catalyze a sustained philanthropic response to the root causes of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. 

In effort to begin this critical and sometimes difficult work, FCAA partnered with our colleagues at ABFE (A Philanthropic Partnership for Black Communities), Funders for LGBTQ Issues, Funders Network on Population, Reproductive Health and Rights, International Human Rights Funders Group, and Grantmakers in Health to create a track of concurrent sessions focused on health equity, including on such issues as women of color, protections of and barriers to care, and placed-based challenges to equity.   

While we shared the content of the first session in this track last week, below you can learn more about the topics and speakers on all three sessions. Our goal, with our partners, is to expand the audience for this important conversation. Please share this information widely, and help us begin to identify new ideas and partners in this work.

Day 2: 6 December 2016 

Session #1: 
Protections of and Barriers to Access to Care
10:30 - 12:00 PM
We will begin to dive into health equity in the US by examining issues of access.  What gains have we achieved through the Affordable Care Act?  Where are the gaps and who is left behind?  What should our strategies be for achieving equitable access, especially for populations with the greatest needs and the most barriers?  Panelists will discuss such topics as Medicaid expansion, Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or PrEP), women's health, mental health and addiction, and gender identity access issues.
Moderator: Rachael Pine, Altman Foundation. Panelists: Kellan Baker, Center for American Progress; Robert Greenwald, Harvard; Gabrielle de la Gueronniere, Legal Action Center; Alina Salganicoff, Kaiser Family Foundation. 

Session #2: 
 
Health Equity for Women of Color 
1:30 - 3:00 PM 
Reproductive rights, and women's health in general, have long been a political football in the US, and this is further amplified among women of color (WOC), who represent 30% of all women in the U.S. WOC experience systematic obstacles that further impact their access to healthcare; not only do they experience higher maternal mortality and HIV and STD rates, they also often lack access to basic reproductive health care - or new innovations such as PrEP. In this session, we will focus on the needs of WOC, and drill down into issues faced by subpopulations.
Moderator: Brook Kelly-Green, Ford Foundation. Panelists: Dazon Dixon Diallo, Sisterlove; Raffi Freedman Gurspan, White House; Venita Ray, Legacy Health.

Session #3: 
 
Place-based Challenges to Equity
3:15 - 4:45 PM 
In the US, the greatest indicator of what type of health outcomes you can expect can often be best predicted by your zip code.  Using a broad definition of "place", we will explore the role that place plays in exacerbating equity issues, including in special circumstances such as with incarcerated and immigrant populations.
Moderator: Trina Olson, PFund Foundation. Panelists : M Adams, Freedom Inc.; Laurie Dill, Medical AIDS Outreach; Jason Lydon, Black & Pink; Isa Noyola, Trans Law Center
