Oxfam Canada

Thus far, my work at Oxfam Canada has included:

  • Initiating and maintaining contact with the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) London, England to establish collaboration between them and Oxfam Canada towards future publication of Country HIV/AIDS Prevention Report Cards.
  • Developing a model and template for a HIV/AIDS Report card on Canada  that will grade the Diagnosis and Treatment of HIV/AIDS and the Prevention and Education programs designed around the disease in Canada. This will be released at the August 3-8, 2008 International AIDS Conference in Mexico.
  • Researching and analyzing Canada's national/federal policy on HIV/AIDS to determine the effectiveness of its implementation.  Initiating and maintaining contact with Public Health Canada in this regard.
  • Researching the link between ongoing violations of human rights  guarantees, especially the human rights of women, and the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Canada in order to develop an 'advocacy platform' and key 'campaign asks' for Oxfam and the Blueprint Coalition for Action on Women & Girls and HIV/AIDS.
