Maureen attributes this to the lack of support from women\u2019s counterparts in the HIV\/AIDS response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing real allies means speaking truth to power. Standing up even when it&rsquo;s the most challenging thing to do. Standing up without fear of losing your privilege, or losing your voice,\u201d says Maureen. \u201cI have never stood in a place where I have seen gay white men stand up for women. I have not seen gay white men speak up for Black people publicly. I have not seen the men in this movement stand up and ask why it is we have no services for women. I still am waiting. I want to see them stand up and say it&rsquo;s time we fought for our women. Because the women have been with you every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maureen is addressing the gap in services for women as a co-creator and co-founder of WomenSpeak, the first national network for women Living with HIV. \u201cOur main objective is to do a national needs assessment for women living with HIV to find out what gaps exist, gaps in services, gaps in healthcare, gaps in research \u2013 to ensure that within the next five years we will now have different organizations for women; different frameworks of interventions and strategies specifically for women living with HIV nationally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Links<br><a href=\"https:\/\/paninbc.ca\/2022\/03\/09\/women-speak-comunity-building-wlhiv-canada\/\">https:\/\/paninbc.ca\/2022\/03\/09\/women-speak-comunity-building-wlhiv-canada\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maureen Owino is a force.
