Rahma

National Faith HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is one way RAHMA addresses HIV in faith communities. Since 2012, the organization has worked to reduce HIV stigma, beginning with a focus on the Muslim community and extending across faith communities. Its work also addresses female genital mutilation/cutting prevention, sexual health, and gender-based violence. RAHMA facilitates safe conversations about sexual health, a topic often treated as taboo in faith communities, and works to support people living with or affected by HIV. The organization's efforts include education, advocacy, and empowerment, with a focus on helping people feel safe, supported, and valued. RAHMA is based in Washington, D.C., and its board includes members from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and California.
