Giving Women Power Over AIDS - A Traveling Photo Exhibit on Women and HIV/AIDS – showing in Cobourg & Lindsay

This museum quality 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 exhibit also speaks of women’s particular vulnerability to HIV/AIDS and new technologies that may help women take control of their sexual health. This provocative story breaks through the mind-numbing statistics and provides health information that is useful everywhere.
