Who We Are
MENA Rosa is the first regional network dedicated to women living with HIV in the Middle East and North Africa. The MENA Rosa mission was launched in 2010 and is ambitious, like its members, as they put it:
We are a group of women working for women's rights for dignity and love. The name of the network comes from the Middle East and North Africa, and Rosa, the first black woman on a bus in the United States, refused to give up her seat to a white man and start the civil rights [movement] black Americans. Rosa is also a feminine symbol. Through its courageous work, we are able to own a network and raise our voices as well. Our goals are multiple, but one of the outcomes is the impact on the health and quality of life of HIV-infected women and their families in the Middle East and North Africa "
