International AIDS Trust President and CEO Sandra Thurman and UNAIDS Deputy Director Kathleen Cravero chaired a panel of women leaders who discussed how to mobilize women in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Panel members discussed their views on three questions posed by Cravero: what are strategies for mobilizing women leaders in all sectors to use their influence in fight against AIDS; what are barriers and risks to leading on AIDS and how can they be addressed and overcome; and how do we close gap between good intentions and concrete actions that make a difference? The panelists also answered questions from the audience.
