"The Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues (S/GWI) and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) are committed to advancing the rights and health of women and girls around the world," U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Ambassador Eric Goosby and Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues Melanne Verveer write in this post in the State Department "DipNote" blog, commemorating International Women's Day, which was observed on March 8.
