June 20 to 22 - Giving Women Power Over AIDS

PARN – Your Community AIDS Resource Network, in partnership with the Peterborough Public Library, YWCA of Peterborough Victoria and Haliburton and Jamaican Self-Help invite you to Giving Women Power Over AIDS.

This travelling exhibit provides a compelling, visual narrative of the story of Ruth, a mother dying of AIDS, and her child, Martha, one of the 11 million children orphaned by AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. The resulting photo-essay, In Her Mother’s Shoes, is one of the most gripping visual representations to date for deepening the understanding of women’s vulnerabilities to HIV and the role that new prevention technologies, such as microbicides, could play in reducing women’s risk.

The exhibit will run from Tuesday June 20 to Thursday June 22, 2006 in the auditorium of the Peterborough Public Library from 10:30am – 8:00pm. Large groups of employees, volunteers, students and seniors are welcome.
