This toolkit was developed by the International Community of Women living with HIV Eastern Africa (ICWEA), a registered regional
advocacy network and membership-based organization founded in 2005 to provide visibility to women living with HIV. It is a result of a
study conducted by ICWEA between 2014 and 2015, with support from STOP AIDS NOW, under the Link Up project. The study focused
on sexual reproductive health and rights violations experienced by women living with HIV within HIV and Sexual Reproductive Health
clinical setting in Uganda. Consequently, ICWEA documented cases and interviewed women living with HIV and interacted with experts at
national, regional and global levels who are directly or indirectly involved in eliminating forced and coerced sterilization targeting women
living with HIV to develop the toolkit. The toolkit also consists of responses of women living with HIV from selected African countries and
information gleaned from the meeting of experts on Strengthened and Expanded Legal Services for People Living with HIV and Vulnerable
Groups convened in Nairobi in August 2015.
