Description : |
The training manual "Gender, HIV and Human Rights" is an invaluable resource for community-based AIDS workers. Experience has shown that community-based AIDS projects that enhance the decision-making power of women - in partnership with men - work well to prevent the transmission of the virus and to enrich women's capacities to care for the people who are afflicted by it. Comprehensive background information on the epidemic is combined with step-by-step training for community members and questionnaires dealing with common misconceptions about the illness lead to eye-opening statistics certain to stimulate discussion. Poignant case studies from various countries illustrate the dangers of limited knowledge. The manual also responds to the demand of HIV/AIDS gender-specific requirements by helping trainers enhance their understanding about the gender dimensions of HIV/AIDS, so that they can then effectively influence a critical mass of change makers in their "spheres of influence". |
