** Introducing Advocacy Chronicles: A new AVAC podcast takes you behind the scenes with leading advocates
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Advocate,

AVAC is thrilled to announce our new PxPulse ([link removed]) podcast series, The Advocacy Chronicles ([link removed]) , featuring conversations with leading advocates who take us behind the scenes on critical issues at the forefront of global health equity. In each concise conversation, a leading advocacy champion will talk about a priority community issue they identified, the tactics they used to address it, and the wins and outcomes they achieved.

Our debut episode of PxPulse: The Advocacy Chronicles ([link removed]) is with Yvette Raphael, the Executive Director of Advocacy for Prevention of HIV and AIDS (APHA) ([link removed]) , and one of South Africa’s leading human rights activists. Yvette co-chairs the African Women Prevention Community Accountability Board (AWPCAB), which launched The HIV Prevention Choice Manifesto ([link removed]) in September 2023. Yvette discusses the manifesto – a global call, developed and implemented through support from the CASPR project ([link removed]) , for increased political and financial support to ensure every proven method of HIV prevention is integrated into the HIV response. She lays out why The Choice Manifesto matters, how advocates are leveraging it, and what tactics will advance its priorities.

Find the full episode here ([link removed]) . Follow The Advocacy Chronicles ([link removed]) on PxPulse ([link removed]) to hear about the issues that advocates are taking on to advance HIV prevention and what they are learning in the process. Upcoming episodes will feature champions behind campaigns to decriminalize sex work; new advocate-created platforms for ongoing engagement between government and young women; successful efforts to set targets and secure funding from PEPFAR; advocacy to challenge anti-gay hate laws and protect communities of key populations, and more!
