Advancing Female Condoms Through Innovative Advocacy and New Technology

PATH Office, Washington, DC / October 6, 2011

Female condoms have been available for almost 20 years. Yet, many individuals worldwide still do not have access to this critical woman-initiated, dual-protection method. Please join us for a look at innovative advocacy and technology solutions that may help expand global access to female condoms. This event will feature a short film screening; a discussion of advocacy initiatives, including the CHANGE Prevention Now! and Universal Access to Female Condoms (UAFC) Paper Doll campaigns; and an update on the Woman’s Condom—a new female condom developed by PATH. Attendees will have the opportunity to sign their own paper doll in support of female condoms.
