National Day of Solidarity with Women and Girls Living with HIV/AIDS is observed annually on March 10 in the United States. The day was established in 2005 to raise awareness of the impact of HIV and AIDS on women and girls and to emphasize the importance of prevention, testing, treatment, and support. The event is organized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through its prevention and support programs.

HIV/AIDS in Women and Girls
Women, especially those aged 15 to 24, are at increased risk of contracting HIV. Biological, social, and cultural factors play a significant role in the vulnerability of women and girls. In addition, discrimination, stigma, and lack of access to health services often make their situation even more difficult.

Events and Initiatives
Educational campaigns and workshops in schools, universities, community centers, and online platforms.

Testing and Counseling. On this day, many health facilities offer free HIV testing and counseling on prevention.

Support programs: Charitable organizations conduct events aimed at supporting and including women living with HIV in society.

Social and media campaigns: Numerous organizations highlight the issue through social media, articles, videos, and interviews to draw attention to the issue and inspire people to get involved.
