AAF is proud to be a partner of the London Fast Track Initiative working to get to zero HIV infection and stigma in the capital by 2030. We are leading an initiative to provide HIV screening for people in homeless shelters, vulnerable refugees, migrants and displaced individuals and we are collaborating with other organisations to focus on early diagnosis within black African communities, rapid testing in south east London, and developing educational materials. AAF is also partnering with sexual health organisations and faith communities to develop a faith-based network of testers in churches, mosques and synagogues.

AAF runs a number of campaigns, support services and training to prevent violence against women and girls. We campaign against FGM and other harmful traditional practices. We run support activities for survivors of FGM, offering specialist one-on-one counselling and peer support group sessions.
