About Us

The EMPOWERED WOMEN initiative aims to engage women in successful HIV prevention efforts. By addressing a wide range of topics and issues, this initiative aims to create a comprehensive hub of information and support.

The initiative is informed by the voices of black southern women, particularly those living in Louisiana, and includes unique features such as incentivized HIV prevention and policy education, connection to resources, and access to a community of other EMPOWERED WOMEN.
