National Women and Girls
HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is Tuesday, March 10th. It's a nationwide initiative to raise awareness of the increasing impact of HIV/AIDS on
women & girls and encourages ladies to take action. While progress
has definitely been made in the areas of AIDS prevention and treatment,
women still represent 27% of all new AIDS diagnoses, with
African-American women accounting for 66% of that group.
In observance of this day, Karyn of The Fabulous Giver and Luvvie of Awesomely Luvvie came up with the idea of The Red Pump Project.
The concept is simple: Rock the Red Pump on your blog to represent the
strength and courage of women fighting HIV/AIDS or affected by the
disease both directly and indirectly. We ask that on that day (March
10th), you embed the Red Pump Widget within your post with a short
snippet of its significance, or you can rock the widget on your sidebar
for the day.
Besides,
the Red Pump will add a touch of FIERCE to your already FABULOUS blogs!
We want you to join The Red Pump Project and help spread awareness of
National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. To sign up to
participate, please just send an email to theredpumpproject@gmail.com. If you sign up, we will
send you instructions and the html code of the widget. Also, your blog
will be linked on a post on my blog that will run on March 10th. For
more information on National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day,
you can head on over to www.womenshealth.gov/NWGHAAD.
Here, you will be able to learn how the initiative started and look up
any local events in your area! Your participation in this campaign
would be GREATLY appreciated.
Luvvie & Karyn
