WISH-NY Advisory Board

The Women's Initiative to Stop HIV in New York State (WISH-NY), a project of the Legal Action Center, seeks to answer the need for a sustained presence to educate policymakers in New York State about the alarming impact of HIV among women and girls of color.

The advisory board will:

  • help guide and shape our work,
  • keep us grounded in emerging and current issues,
  • provide political and strategic advice,
  • ensure that WISH policy and advocacy work reflects the cross section/multiple issues/systems that affect the lives of women of color/young women at risk for and living with HIV/AIDS, and
  • provide the Initiative with increased expertise and credibility.
