Abstract
Female-led initiatives in HIV prevention are increasingly recognized as a powerful means of addressing the gender-specific challenges women face in the fight against HIV. Women are disproportionately affected by HIV, and their vulnerability is often exacerbated by gender-based inequalities, cultural norms, and limited access to healthcare. By empowering women to lead HIV prevention efforts, these initiatives can better address the unique needs of women, increase awareness, and reduce stigma surrounding HIV. This article explores the importance of supporting female leadership in HIV prevention, highlighting successful initiatives, challenges, and the impact of women’s leadership on public health outcomes. The article discusses the role of female leaders in HIV prevention, emphasizing their ability to tailor strategies that resonate with women’s lived experiences. Female-led initiatives often focus on culturally appropriate approaches that address barriers such as lack of education, economic dependency, and sexual and reproductive health challenges. Women leaders also play a critical role in reducing stigma and promoting community engagement, ultimately fostering a more inclusive environment for HIV prevention and care. Keywords: Female-led initiatives, HIV prevention, gender equality, women’s health, empowerment
