Gender
Mainstreaming in HIV/AIDS: Taking a
Multisectoral Approach
Commonweath Secretariat
HIV infection
rates are increasing among women and their
death rates from AIDS are now almost as high
as men's. This fact has fed growing
recognition that this pandemic is more than a
health problem and can only be succesfully
met by mainstreaming a gender perspective
into a broad-based and multisectoral
response. The manual offers a number of case
studies from Bangladesh, South Africa, Canada
among others to illustrate how programmes
that promote HIV prevention by addressing
gender, in addition to social and economic
factors that increase people's risk of
infection, are more likely to succeed in
changing behaviour. It also contains an
extensive list of on-line resources. 2002.

Gender
Equality & HIV and AIDS
A Challenge for the Education Sector
Editors: Sheila Aikman, Elaine Unterhalter
& Tania Bole
rThe
feminization of HIV epidemics has been
steadily increasing the world over. In
sub-Saharan Africa, for example, 75 per cent
of young people infected are women and girls.
This book is based on the assertion that
gender disparities in education contribute to
social conditions that facilitate the spread
of HIV. Researchers, NGOs, and donors from
South Africa and South-East Asia contribute
case studies and research from around the
world to reveal the extreme importance of
educating girls &emdash; who are less likely
than boys to attend school and are therefore
more vulnerable to HIV. Essays address the
need to educate boys against violence against
girls; teachers against sexual abuse of
girls; and ministers of education about
implementing and evaluating equal gender
practices in education. 2008. 200 pages. WE
