INTERSECT MISSION STATEMENT : INTERSECT employs a new concept and organizing principle to create powerful, multi-disciplinary Intersect Coalitions for social mobilization across countries worldwide to end the co-epidemics of HIV and Violence Against Women and Girls. |
INTERSECT COALITIONS :
| 1) |
 |
Engage in cooperative action to advance common goals and face issues of common concern among those working in HIV/AIDS, Violence Against Women and Girls, and related fields.
|
| 2) |
|
Use the vast networks of established organizations within the women’s movement to raise awareness of HIV and bring their full weight to the struggle to end the scourges of HIV/AIDS and violence.
|
| 3) |
|
Promote innovative approaches to education, law, and public policy.
|
| 4) |
|
Marshal a formidable, visible force to create significant change in the social environment in which HIV and Violence Against Women and Girls currently thrives so that social justice, gender parity and a life of quality and safety replace the current spectres of violence and HIV.
|
| 5) |
|
Representing a wide array of constituents, from urban, to deep rural to traditional communities, Intersect Coalitions work on a scale never before attempted to fight these devastating and deadly co-epidemics. |
