My expectations from Color

When working with Color Latina, I am expecting to be working with Latina's and their families, trying to gain more rights with education, the work place, and in the overall community. As i previously mentioned, Color is planning a 45 day campaign, which in the process right now. During that campaign, they wish to improve Latina's knowledge on HIV. They want to help Latina's and their families know what HIV is, how it can affect you, and how to prevent getting this awful disease. I have yet to meet with Color, but from looking on their website, it seems to me that they relate with radical feminism. Latina's around the world do the same work as men, and sometimes more. But the purpose of Color is to make sure that these Latinas are treated the same as any man doing the same job. They do not want to be domesticized. Latinas do not want to be thought of as women who stay home to clean, cook, and take care of their kids. They want to be equal to men, and they do not want men to see them as homemakers. Sexism can play a large role in the work place. Although women can do the same work as men, the men may look to women to clean up their messes, or to do the boring jobs such as organizing and filing. One of the main purposes of Color is to gain equality in the work place.
Another expectation I have comes from the 45 day campaign. Earlier I mentioned that the campaign's main goal is to educate Latinas about HIV. Since I plan on helping them with this campaign, I want to learn more about HIV myself. I know that HIV is a sexually transmitted disease, but you can also get it from touching someone else's blood. This is why prison guards wear gloves and other protective equipment when dealing with HIV positive inmates. There is no cure for HIV. The only way to keep HIV tolerable, is to take dozens of different medications everyday. I want to learn the specific details about HIV, like its origins, where it is most common today, and how to prevent myself and others from catching this disease.
I still have yet to meet with Color, but this Saturday, myself and my group members are attending a meeting with them. I have not been able to see if my expectations will be unfounded or supportive. But I am looking forward to understanding my expectations with Color this weekend.
