Diva Association is a program initiation that is a pioneer in preventing and controlling HIV/AIDS in women. This activity was carried out in two meetings, where the first meeting focused on mental empowerment regarding endurance and strength to face stigma and the second meeting discussed training on starting a business and marketing products through empowering MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises). The results of this community service activity show positive changes in the participants as evidenced by the increased knowledge and understanding of the participants regarding the material provided. This program has high sustainability in the form of mental and physical resilience in fighting negative stigma and discrimination as well as increasing productivity and skills to start a business as a source of income
