Message from the Executive Director,

Welcome to the website of the Women Alive Coalition, Inc., (Women Alive) Los Angeles, California. As Executive Director of this premier woman’s focused organization, it is an extraordinary experience to be a part of the remarkable evolution of this organization.

Women Alive is a coalition, created in 1990 by a group of women living with HIV/AIDS who recognized the need to provide a more specialized gender specific AIDS Service organization for women. Starting out in a living room, it soon moved to a small office in West Los Angeles. In December 1997, Women Alive Coalition (Women Alive) was established as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization.

Today, our success in making the community a better place for women living with HIV/AIDS is rooted in providing individual peer support, educating our community, creating a safe environment for clients, activism/advocacy at a local level; and shaping policy changes for research and funding at the state and national level.

Women Alive is able to reach nearly 150 HIV+ clients and their families, and over 1,000 individuals through our outreach endeavors (out-patient clinics, health fairs, home visits, posters, brochures, and role model stories).

It has been an honor to be a part of Women Alive’s growth and change. Starting out as a multi-service AIDS advocacy organization for people with the virus, Women Alive has evolved into a health promotion and disease prevention agency that helps people at risk for HIV to stay healthy and stay connected to services and care.

Because of the magnitude of the HIV problem Women Alive in many ways has become a social change agency that recognize that condom demonstrations, individual and group level education, is not enough. We have come to realize first hand that Women of Color have continually been taught to believe that they do not have the right to speak for themselves. This oppression requires that we motivate a diverse group of constituents to share in the responsibility of promoting health education, advocating for inclusiveness in the HIV planning process, and demanding justice so that HIV disease does not continue to crush disenfranchised communities through stigma, systematic oppression, and institutional racism and gender biases.
