March 10 is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Of the 1 million people in the U.S. diagnosed with HIV, nearly 1 in 4 are women.
Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day can be an opportunity to live into our Christian calling. The work of educating others about HIV/ AIDS is something Christians are called to do. This is a humanitarian issue that needs help and communication from all faith communities.
Lutherans are known for their service to others, for working to help others live a good life. What if we used the month of March to invite women and girls to a Zoom talk about HIV/AIDS awareness?
You can partner with organizations in your community, and also learn more about the work the ELCA already does in this area. Learn about HIV/AIDS, teach others about HIV/AIDS.
This message is an excerpt from “Healers of nations” by Andrena Ingram in the March 2020 issue of Gather magazine. Today we remember Harriet Tubman, who died in 1913; and Sojourner Truth, who died in 1883; renewers of society.
