The World Health Organization consolidated guideline on the sexual and
reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women living with HIV is grounded
in and advocates for a strengthened, comprehensive, woman-centred approach
to SRHR. The guideline outlines evidence-based recommendations and good
practice statements for key operational and service delivery issues that
need to be addressed in order to uphold human rights and promote gender
equality. Unique to the development of this guideline, a global community
survey was conducted on the SRHR priorities of women living with HIV. It
highlighted high levels of violence experienced by women living with HIV
before and after diagnosis from partners, community and in

health settings.

In Canada, women living with HIV also report experiencing high rates of
violence and trauma. Women who have experienced trauma are at risk of being
re-traumatized within health and community services, which may lead to
ineffective and unsafe care. In response to the need for better guidance on
how to ensure the safety of women living with HIV within service and care
provision, this webinar highlight current strategies, challenges, and
opportunities to implement *trauma aware care *interventions for women and
girls living with HIV. The webinar brings together perspectives from women
living with HIV, front-line community workers, researchers, clinicians, and
policy makers who will share key considerations and highlight research and
service gaps from the African, Caribbean, Black community, the Indigenous
community, and the importance of integrating MIWA principles when designing
care and recognizing women’s resilience.

You are warmly invited to join this webinar on *Trauma and Violence Aware
Care*, *(in English*) *Wednesday September 13th, 2017*: 9:00-10:30AM PST,
12:00 -1: 30 EST, and 6:00 -7:30PM in Geneva.

*Webinar Objectives:*

The overall goal of the webinar series is to *support implementation of the
WHO guidelines on the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women
living with HIV*. Specific objectives include to:

   - *Provide an overview *of current research about *trauma and violence
   aware care* in Canada context using data from the Canadian HIV Women’s
   Sexual and Reproductive Health Cohort Study (CHIWOS)

   stakeholders regarding the implementation of health care services to
   support women living with HIV experiencing trauma and violence
   - *Gain insights* from women living with HIV to highlight gaps in
