Our primary goal is to increase women’s and children’s access to HIV testing, care, treatment, support, education and training in resource-limited settings at the grassroots level. We are committed to helping survivors of genocidal rape and sexual violence. WE-ACTx began working in Rwanda in early 2004 to provide HIV care to genocide rape survivors, in active partnership with the Rwandan government and five local NGO partners. We focus on empowering HIV-positive women and girls to take charge of their lives and become leaders in the fight against AIDS.
