PARMA, Ohio, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- "Giving Women Power Over AIDS," a traveling exhibit, will be on display at Cuyahoga Community College's Western Campus, 11000 Pleasant Valley Road, Parma, October 16-29.

Sponsored by the Global Campaign for Microbicides, the exhibition features In Her Mother's Shoes, an award-winning story and photo essay by The Seattle Times about women and children amidst the devastation in a world of AIDS.

Through the exhibit and The Seattle Times story, visitors will learn how scientists and advocates are pursuing research on a microbicide that could possibly protect women from HIV and prevent the loss of future generations to the AIDS epidemic.
