Who we are

“Positive Women” is a charitable organization that unites women living with HIV and their allies. We support women in defending their rights, accessing quality healthcare, and making decisions that affect their lives.

Since 2013, we have been developing the women’s movement at the intersection of human rights, healthcare, social support, and gender equality. We are an expert organization that not only responds to challenges but also creates sustainable mechanisms to protect the rights of women, particularly women living with HIV.

We support women living with HIV, helping them live free from stigma, discrimination, and limitations.

It all started with her

This notebook is an important part of our history. It was created by Alina Yaroslavska, one of our leaders with whom we began the journey of the organization. We cherish her memory, and the notebook reminds us of the power of an idea and our values.

What we do
Care for health

We help women living with HIV take part in making important decisions — through participation in coalitions, partnerships, and national and international events.

Together we build a community of active women living with HIV. We provide space, knowledge, resources, and support for growth and active engagement in their communities.
