 Meeting (HLM) on HIV and AIDS

Dear CTAC Member,

Attached is a link to a survey that will be used to pull together key
messages about the needs of women and girls living with, affected by, and
vulnerable to HIV infection for the United Nations High Level Meeting on
HIV/AIDS. If you are a woman or girl affected by HIV, please read the
information below and consider adding your voice to this survey. Please
forward widely.




 Building women's global meaningful participation in the High Level Meeting
(HLM) on HIV and AIDS
1st March 2011
Dear Friends
The High Level Meeting on HIV and AIDS that takes place in June this year
will review achievements made against the commitments of the United Nations
General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS Declaration of Commitment of
2001, and the Political Declaration of 2006. It will determine the priority
agenda for work on HIV and AIDS over the next five years, in particular as
we work towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Multiple processes are underway to ensure broad stakeholder engagement and
representation in the outcomes of the Meeting. These include regional civil
society consultations and pre-meetings. (http://www.icaso.org/ungass.html)
The ATHENA Network and the Global Coalition on Women and AIDS (GCWA) are
running a virtual survey in order to ensure the broadest possible engagement
and representation of women (and girls wherever possible) in the processes
leading up to the HLM - especially women living with and affected by HIV,
and other key populations of women who often lack platforms for priority
issues to be raised and heard.
This survey will be sent via various electronic social media to women in all
regions, in English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic. From the
responses we receive, we are seeking to identify regional messages, which
can be fed into the regional consultations being held over the next two
months, and consolidated into 3 to 4 key global asks to feed into the HLM
outcome document by the beginning of April. Beyond the HLM process, we hope
that the findings that the survey produces will be useful at the national,
regional, and international advocacy levels. We will be producing regional
summaries of the findings.
WE WOULD BE SO GLAD IF YOU WOULD TAKE PART IN THIS GLOBAL SURVEY - and share
it with your woman colleagues.

The survey takes about 20 - 30 minutes to complete in full, but there is the
option of only completing the first 2 parts which can be done in 5 minutes
Link to survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/88YMLNQ
Deadline: Sunday 13th March
We are also attaching an email version - please only use this in the event
that you do not have internet access, and return completed questionnaires to
virtual.consultation2011 at gmail.com<mailto:virtual.consultation2011 at gmail.com>
by Sunday 13th March 2011
We look forward to hearing from you!

   Warmly
