To celebrate World AIDS Day, this web site is focusing on women in Southern Africa, highlighting the challenges they face, resources that can assist them and positive stories of men and women who are successfully dealing with issues of multiple concurrent partnerships.
The reason we are focussing on women is because research has shown that they are the ones who are more vulnerable to HIV and AIDS, and the ones who have been greatly impacted by the virus.
Here are some of the previously published posts which deal with gender and HIV, that were published on the OneLove regional campaign’s web site since its launch.
We have also included a number of videos and ebooks that you can download to read later, and/to send to your family, friends and online community members.
