About Women With A Vision
Women With A Vision (WWAV) was founded in 1989 by a collective of Black women in response to the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS in Black communities. Today, WWAV continues to provide grassroots-level support and advocacy at the intersections of gender, racial, and reproductive justice. Widely regarded as the leading national voice fighting the criminalization of Black women and girls in the South, WWAV programs touch on human rights, sex workers’ rights, reproductive justice, voting rights, and ending mass incarceration. WWAV envisions a world where Black women and girls are free to achieve their wildest dreams, and a world where they live free from the fear of interpersonal and state violence.
