The Women'S Collective

The women's collective (the organization) is a leading community health and human service agency in washington, d.c. Providing culturally-competent, girl- and woman-focused, family-centered hiv/std prevention, education, care, support, and advocacy services. Our mission is to empower women, girls, and their families by providing them with the skills and linkages to meet their self-defined needs, increase their access to care and support, and engage them so that they are best equipped to 'own' their health outcomes, improve their quality of life, and protect their rights.as the only women- and girl-serving agency in the area, we are skilled at service provision to low income, disadvantaged and marginalized women and girls' ages 12 and older across all wards of the district. The organization grew out of the life experience of the founder/executive director, patricia nalls, a woman living with hiv/aids who used her personal story to create this unique organization and model of care.
