The opportunity

Technology should widen participation, not create another barrier.

Young women living with HIV, young women with disabilities, and other affected communities can face stigma, inaccessible services, digital exclusion, and limited access to decision-making spaces.

The platform brings together practical accountability tools that support safe participation, transparent public information, and community monitoring.

Voices from the community

The hardest part was the loss of privacy.

One survivor explains how a breach of medical confidentiality became a reason to support other women living positively and collect more community stories.

Hey, today I want to share my story. People think the hardest part of living with HIV is remembering your medication. I have never missed a dose in three years because it is easy to remember when I know it is my life.

The hardest part happened in a waiting room when staff discussed my status loud enough for strangers to hear. It was a traumatising scenario that I never expected.

That moment became the reason I started collecting more than just my own story. I use my story to empower other women who are living positive like me, to accept themselves and always love themselves.

Stay with us for the next story. Thank you.

Digital health and privacy

Why digital health anonymity fails

A story about influence

The Blueprint for Influence

Influence starts with a voice. This story follows the courage, connection, and community action that turn lived experience into a blueprint for change.

How it works

Four connected routes from experience to action.

Accessible digital advocacy

Practical training in responsible AI tools, digital storytelling, and evidence-led advocacy designed around different access needs.

Stories with dignity

Safe ways for participants to share lived experiences, challenge stigma, and shape advocacy messages without exposing personal information.

Youth-to-policy dialogue

Structured forums that bring young advocates, community organisations, service providers, and decision-makers into the same conversation.

Evidence for action

Community insights translated into reviewed policy briefs, public campaigns, and specific recommendations that institutions can act on.

Safety before visibility.

Do not include names, phone numbers, exact addresses, or identifying health information. Responses and observations are pending review before any public use. Quote publication requires separate consent.

Verification is part of accountability.

Fund figures, programme status, and coverage currently carry a verification note. The programme team must confirm source documents before a record is treated as an official public fact.

An AFOSI-led initiative

Make participation meaningful.

The aim is not simply to collect youth voices, but to help young people organise evidence, set the agenda, and stay involved through the decisions that follow.
