SWAAC: Society for Women and AIDS in Africa – Cameroun Chapter
An AIDS awareness sticker designed by SWAAC.
Established in 1990 to help women cope with the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Cameroun, where 11 percent of the population is living with HIV/AIDS, SWAAC currently operates a national office and branches in five different provinces of the country. Beyond providing diverse communities with basic, lifesaving information on HIV/AIDS, SWAAC is raising awareness on how gender inequalities and attitudes about sexuality fuel the epidemic's spread, rendering women disproportionately vulnerable. IWHC has worked with SWAAC since 1990. We are currently supporting their efforts to reach underserved communities and isolated ethnic groups with information on HIV/AIDS and to strengthen the gender and sexuality focus of their work.
