Friends of the Global Fight: The Global Fund Launches HER Initiative to Invest in Women and Girls to End AIDS
Katie Broendel, senior communications manager at Friends of the Global Fight, discusses the Global Fund’s recently launched HER (HIV Epidemic Response) initiative, “which will focus on bringing in new partners and resources from the private sector to drive down infection rates among adolescent girls and young women.” Broendel notes, “HER builds upon the groundbreaking leadership of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and its DREAMS partnership, which works to support determined, resilient, empowered, AIDS-free, mentored, and safe women” (1/30).
