Women living with HIV continue to face discrimination when accessing health and social services in British Columbia. To address this issue, Positive Women’s Network (PWN) provides HIV education workshops for health and social services providers within the province. Since 2006, PWN has provided training to a variety of groups, such as sexual assault centres and immigrant services organizations. Originally offered in partnership with the BC-Yukon Society of Transition Houses, these workshops initially targeted service providers working in the field of violence against women. However, over time the training focus has evolved to more general audiences.
PWN contracted Community Solutions Planning & Evaluation to assess how well these workshops were delivered, what kinds of outcomes occurred, and what important learnings have resulted along the way.
