Home > Events > Making Microbicides a Game-Changer for Women’s HIV Prevention

The IGWG organizes regular in-person and virtual events where members from around the world can learn from and connect with each other. These events may be thematic, such as a focus on recent research in the GBV field, or dedicated to capacity building, like how to use film for social and behavior change communication. Our annual IGWG Plenary creates space for members to meet in person and provide feedback on the network as a whole each year.

Presentations and recordings of IGWG events are available online so you can find past events you missed or want to revisit. The presentation materials are also available.

On June 24, 2014, Rose Wilcher, Michele Lanham, and Robyn Dayton of FHI 360 shared the findings and programmatic resources from activities undertaken in Kenya and South Africa designed to identify strategies and generate support for gender transformative microbicide introduction in the future.

Hailed as a much-needed female-controlled HIV prevention method, women will likely face barriers to access and use microbicides when and if they are licensed and rolled out. To ensure the future success of this product, they argued, programs must be informed by a sound understanding of how gender norms and inequalities as well as the potential role of male partners may affect women’s microbicide use. Additionally, they noted that microbicide use could potentially change the relative status of men and women in a community, and that sound gender analysis should be a part of programs which make use of microbicides.
