She is the Co-Founder of the Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS, a UNAIDS and UNFPA-supported network of 6000 young people addressing HIV/AIDS in 150 countries worldwide. Joya graduated from Barnard College of Columbia University cum laude in 2004 with a double major in Human Rights and Political Science. She wrote her senior thesis on the Feminization of HIV/AIDS in India.
Joya's interest in international development, gender and human rights began during an internship for Amnesty International where she lobbied for the women's treaty CEDAW on Capitol Hill and helped develop the New York City Human Rights Initiative. She started a student organization on HIV/AIDS and health as a human right called Columbia Global Justice under the mentorship of Jeffrey Sachs at the Earth Institute.
Joya worked at the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) as a consultant, helping to develop the Special Youth Programme in the Reproductive Health Branch for young fellows from developing countries, and launching GYCA with the support of the HIV/AIDS Branch. In 2005 GYCA went independent, and now has offices in New York and Accra, Ghana. Joya has conducted fieldwork, outreach, advocacy and health service delivery with marginalized populations such as sex workers, injecting drug users, men who have sex with men and youth living with HIV in India, Viet Nam, Ukraine, Poland, Mexico, Chile, Nigeria and Malawi.
