This book was released on 2010 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Southern Africa continues to bear a disproportionate share of the global burden of HIV: 35% of HIV infections and 38% of AIDS-related deaths in 2007 occurred in this sub-region\2019 (UNAIDS, 2008b: 32). Southern Africa also experiences high levels of population movement, voluntary or forced, and comprises a diversity of people, including contract labor migrants, irregular migrants, families of migrants, refugees, trafficked persons and mobile workers such as truck drivers and mine workers. Furthermore, migrants have loved ones back home, who may face their own vulnerabilities, as the family breadwinner is away. This regional assessment, commissioned by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and funded by the PEPFAR Southern Africa Prevention Initiative, examines the migration patterns and the HIV vulnerabilities faced by migrants and mobile workers in the southern Africa region. It also investigates the main challenges faced by these groups in accessing HIV-prevention services. Finally, the report identifi es opportunities for programming and prioritizes key activities that should be pursued in the region so as to lessen the overall HIV vulnerabilities of migrants, mobile workers and the communities within which they interact"--Page 10.

Book HIV AIDS  Gender  Human Security  and Violence in Southern Africa

Download or read book HIV AIDS Gender Human Security and Violence in Southern Africa written by Monica Kathina Juma and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2011 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 10 years since the United Nations Security Council's first resolution on HIV/AIDS, the pandemic has had far-reaching implications for human security. In sub-Saharan Africa, the epicentre of the pandemic, the consequences have been borne disproportionately by women. Violent conflicts and insecurity throughout the region, characterised by population movements, forced migration and environmental crises, have overwhelmed the capacity of states to provide preventative measures against HIV/AIDS, care and treatment. In many areas, the related stress factors on health systems and basic service provision have pushed community and kinship networks beyond their breaking points. The plight of women is exacerbated because they are vulnerable and at high risk of HIV infection, due to increased care burdens within the household and community, sexual and gender-based violence and exploitation, as well as coercive interpersonal relationships. This volume is a welcome addition to the literature on HIV/AIDS and should serve as a useful tool for Aids activists, community health workers as well as for policy makers in the region
