Making U.S. Foreign Assistance Work for Women
On Thursday, October 16, CHANGE issued a policy paper which positions sexual and reproductive health and rights at the core of U.S. foreign assistance policy and global development efforts.  Women's rights affect every aspect of global development, from societal to economic outcomes.  Making U.S. Foreign Assistance Work comes at a critical time as experts are proposing reforms for U.S. foreign aid and just prior to a political transition that will determine the future direction of U.S. foreign policy.  The paper fills gaps in current proposals and includes recommendations for the next presidential administration.

On September 5,  CHANGE released a new policy brief examining the “prostitution pledge” which, despite the efforts of human rights and public health advocates, remains embedded in U.S. global HIV/AIDS policy today.

Recent court rulings raise significant doubts about the pledge’s constitutionality, and evidence demonstrates the pledge’s harmful impact on HIV prevention efforts among sex workers.
