March 10, 2009 is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. I found out about it at The Red Pump Project. If you’ve got a pair of red pumps christen them today or host your own Red Pump Happy Hour in your city. It’s about spreading knowledge and saving lives.

From The Red Pump Project:

National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is Tuesday, March 10th. It’s a nationwide initiative to raise awareness of the increasing impact of HIV/AIDS on women & girls and encourages ladies to take action. While progress has definitely been made in the areas of AIDS prevention and treatment, women still represent 27% of all new AIDS diagnoses, with African-American women accounting for 66% of that group.
