Leadership

Name: Shanta Evans Profession: Public Affairs Manager for Planned Parenthood, CT. “The reason that keeps me involved with this campaign is the feeling that I am contributing to a greater cause of empowering individuals to have control over their bodies and more specifically, their sexual health. We can not truly be a better society if everyone is not in control over their bodies and their reproductive health. Having access to a product like a microbicide would make this happen.”
Name: Andrea Wilson Profession: Master of Public Health Student, Southern Connecticut State University; Connecticut Microbicides Now Intern. “I am a Connecticut Microbicides Now Intern because it is imperative to me to treat others the way in which I want to be treated: with respect, compassion, and equality.”
Name: Stephanie Herring Profession: Graduate Student in the Department of Biochemistry at Yale University, Connecticut Microbicides Now! intern. “Gender inequality is perhaps the main reason more women are infected with HIV then men. Microbicides are not an answer to this inequality, but they do provide a powerful tool for women to protect themselves in the face of inequality.”
