Gender Sensitive Approaches to HIV/AIDS: A Training Kit for Peer Educators: Commonwealth Youth Program

HIV/AIDS is a development issue--affecting all sectors of society--economic and social development, education, public services, and food security, to name a few. At the heart of this pandemic lies inequality between men and women. This training manual is a Commonwealth Secretariat initiative to mainstream gender equality into all government policies and programs, as mandated by Commonwealth Heads of Government. It will be invaluable for managers and planners at different levels in a wide variety of organizations, helping them to identify the gender aspects of HIV/AIDS and to factor these into all policies, programs, projects, and activities.
