The Caribbean Vulnerable Communities Coalition (CVC) is a coalition of community leaders and non-governmental organizations dedicated to advocating for and providing services to Caribbean populations particularly vulnerable to HIV infection and often marginalized in access to treatment and healthcare programs. These groups include men who have sex with men, persons of trans experience, sex workers, people who use drugs, orphans and other children made vulnerable by HIV, migrant populations, persons in prison and ex-prisoners, and youth in especially difficult circumstances.

 

CVC's mission is to mobilize the voice, visibility, and participation of these diverse groups to impact the regional HIV response and to create an enabling environment by which to end the conditions and consequences of marginalization. The organization engages in advocacy, strengthens alliances and partnerships, and focuses on social mobilization and capacity building of partners.
