Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre a le mérite d'aborder, dans un contexte de crise militaro-politique que vit la Côte d'Ivoire depuis 2002, la question des relations de genre et la prévalence du VIH/SIDA.Il est admis que le SIDA est une maladie "féminisée" en ce sens que, ce sont les femmes qui sont plus infectées au VIH. Et pourtant, les actions menées pour lutter contre cette pandémie prennent rarement en compte la dimension genre. Par son caractère de la recherche scientifique, ce livre permet de comprendre que les femmes qui vivent en union, malgré leur statut, sont autant exposées à l'infection au VIH/SIDA que les autres femmes. Cet ouvrage qui est le résultat d'une recherche, met en relief les facteurs qui expliquent l'exposition des femmes en union à l'infection au VIH/SIDA. Il est adressé aux chercheurs, aux décideurs et aux organismes qui oeuvrent pour la lutte contre la propagande du VIH/SIDA ou pour son éradication.En effet, il leur propose de nouveaux axes qui puissent leur permettre d'ètre efficaces dans les actions de lutte contre cette pandémie, devenue un problème de santé publique.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les trois études présentées dans cette thèse portent sur 1) la comparaison de la prévalence du VIH mesurée par le programme de surveillance du VIH chez les femmes enceintes (surveillance sentinelle) et celle mesurée chez les femmes de la population générale en 2005, 2) l'analyse de l'utilité des données du programme de prévention de la transmission du VIH de la mère à l'enfant (PTME) pour la surveillance du VIH chez les femmes enceintes (données de 2007) et 3) l'analyse des liens entre les déterminants liés au genre et la séropositivité au VIH dans la population générale en 2005. Les trois études ont été conduites au Rwanda. En premier lieu, la prévalence mesurée par la surveillance sentinelle sous-estime significativement celle mesurée dans la population générale féminine dans les villes urbaines autres que la capitale (5% contre 7,7 %, p=0,008). La distribution différente des facteurs sociodémographiques dans les deux populations est la principale cause de la différence des prévalences du VIH constatée. En deuxième lieu, la prévalence du VIH mesurée par le programme de PTME sous-estime celle mesurée par la surveillance sentinelle (3,27 % contre 4,35 % p=0,03). La faible qualité des données du programme de PTME a été associée à la différence constatée. En troisième lieu, 29,2%; 22,2% et 12,4% des femmes en union ont respectivement rapporté avoir subi la violence physique, psychologique et sexuelle. Après ajustement pour les variables socio-démographiques et les facteurs de risque sexuels chez les femmes, le rapport de cote (RCajUsté) de l'infection à VIH était de 3,23 [Intervalle de confiance (IC) à 95% : 1,30-8,03] chez les femmes qui avaient un score allant de 3 à 4 sur l'échelle de la violence psychologique perpétrée par le partenaire. Le RCajUsté chez les femmes qui ont rapporté avoir été exposée à la violence interparentale était de 1,95 (IC à 95% : 1,11-3,43). La correction du biais de classement des femmes enceintes recrutées par la surveillance sentinelle dans les villes urbaines autres que la Capitale est nécessaire pour améliorer les estimations de prévalence du VIH réalisées par ce programme. La gestion et la qualité des données du programme de PTME doivent être améliorées avant de confier à ce programme l'activité de surveillance du VIH. Les interventions ciblant la réduction de la violence basée sur le genre devraient être intégrées dans les politiques de lutte contre le VIH/SIDA.

Download or read book Sexual Coercion and Reproductive Health written by Lori Heise and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender-based violence has a direct impact on a range of women's reproductive health problems, including adolescent pregnancy, high-risk sexual behavior, sexually transmitted diseases, neonatal and maternal mortality, and chronic pelvic pain. To facilitate integration of these two areas, the Population Council's Ebert Program on Critical Issues in Reproductive Health and the Health and Development Policy Project met together in November 1993. It has been demonstrated that women who have been sexually abused as children are at increased risk of early initiation of intercourse, multiple partners, unprotected sex, prostitution, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and low self-esteem. Although most societies condemn incest and forced intercourse with an unmarried virgin, coerced sex within marriage or with a sexually experienced woman may be tolerated. The general paucity of research on coerced sex reflects the more general avoidance of issues of gender and power. Seminar participants identified six priority areas for research: sociocultural contexts that shape and support sexual coercion; the integration of questions on sexual violence into ongoing research on AIDS, sexuality, and reproductive health in order to gain prevalence data; the cultural meanings attached to sexual trauma; the physical and psychological consequences of sexual coercion; processes within the criminal justice, legal, media, and medical care systems that perpetuate sexual victimization; and effective interventions.

Download or read book Consolidated Guideline on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Women Living with HIV written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he starting point for this guideline is the point at which a woman has learnt that she is living with HIV and it therefore covers key issues for providing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights-related services and support for women living with HIV. As women living with HIV face unique challenges and human rights violations related to their sexuality and reproduction within their families and communities as well as from the health-care institutions where they seek care particular emphasis is placed on the creation of an enabling environment to support more effective health interventions and better health outcomes. This guideline is meant to help countries to more effectively and efficiently plan develop and monitor programmes and services that promote gender equality and human rights and hence are more acceptable and appropriate for women living with HIV taking into account the national and local epidemiological context. It discusses implementation issues that health interventions and service delivery must address to achieve gender equality and support human rights.

Download or read book Women and Trade written by World Bank;World Trade Organization and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.

Download or read book Addressing Gender Based Violence in the Latin American and Caribbean Region written by Andrew Morrison and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors present an overview of gender-based violence (GBV) in Latin America, with special emphasis on good practice interventions to prevent GBV or offer services to its survivors or perpetrators. Intimate partner violence and sexual coercion are the most common forms of GBV, and these are the types of GBV that they analyze. GBV has serious consequences for women's health and well-being, ranging from fatal outcomes, such as homicide, suicide, and AIDS-related deaths, to nonfatal outcomes, such as physical injuries, chronic pain syndrome, gastrointestinal disorders, complications during pregnancy, miscarriage, and low birth-weight of children. GBV also poses significant costs for the economies of developing countries, including lower worker productivity and incomes, and lower rates of accumulation of human and social capital. The authors examine good practice approaches in justice, health, education, and multisectoral approaches. In each sector, they identify good practices for: (1) law and policies; (2) institutional reforms; (3) community-level interventions; and (4) individual behavior change strategies.
