In 2003, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) was signed into law by President George W. Bush. Saving millions of lives worldwide over the last 15 years, PEPFAR has accelerated progress toward controlling and ultimately ending the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat. Through partnership and engagement worldwide, notable efforts continue. However, despite major gains, especially across the life cycle of women’s health, young women and adolescent girls remain particularly vulnerable. From access to education and health services to curtailing gender-based violence, further work remains in the prevention of HIV/AIDS and cervical cancer. Vital to that effort: collaboration and women leaders. This session aims to examine the importance of strategic partnerships, the value of women’s leadership, and the need for greater investments and advocacy for young women and adolescent girls in the fight against HIV and cervical cancer.

Concordia is the leading public-private sector convener, with the Annual Summit one of the most important global gatherings of C-suite executives, heads of state, government officials, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs.
