something i read somewhere and would like to share with you:
The Journey: Advocating for women and HIV positive people

Mar 03|23:27

By Martha Tholanah
That day in the early 1980s when they rounded up women in the streets for walking the streets going about their legitimate business unaccompanied by a male, and said they were loitering for the purposes of prostitution, stirred something in me.

Even though I was only a young school girl then, anger simmered within me, but this is when I became very conscious about societal gender disparities that worked more against women and girls, depriving them of quality of life and exposing them to extreme, emotional, mental, and physical stress. It spurred me to read more and to contribute my little bit in raising consciousness and working towards positive change.

A few years down the line, as I grew older, the challenges seemed to surmount as the scourge of HIV descended upon us, with its devastating consequences of many deaths, families deprived of bread winners, children orphaned, families deprived of their inheritance by scheming relatives, the disintegration of the family unit and community spirit of looking out for, and supporting each other at all times.

To crown it all — the painful thorn of getting an HIV diagnosis and the then self-proclaimed gods (medical personnel) who would declare the very few months of life left because of that HIV diagnosis.
The many people who got this death sentence and were deemed unsuitable to be cared for within the hospital setting were sent home, with relatives ordered to take them home and nurse them there.

This burden of course fell on women, with no training, no remuneration, and no tools for the trade.
While many people died, many survived, defying the death sentence proclaimed by the “gods” in the hospital. Because there was no respite or assistance from the health care setting, people who had tested positive had to find ways of supporting each other and continuing to care for themselves and their families — and they succeeded although the odds were stacked against them.

There was something about the resilience of the people, mainly women saddled with the burden which was heartwarming. They could teach the professionals about health care beyond medicinal drugs! These stories and experiences from the grassroots are the lifeblood that keep me going in my advocacy and activism as I seek to amplify the voices of the life experiences of women and people living with HIV (PLHIV).

I am a mother myself, and while I face many challenges in negotiating this jungle called life, my inspiration always comes from my connection with other mothers and women who live on the margins.
I am also a woman living with HIV in my bloodstream. As much as possible, I try to keep that connection with the ordinary women in rural communities, in the townships, the market women, and those thronging the public health care centres in search of quality health care.

The life stories we share on day-to-day experiences, and the struggles of raising families in a country and world that seems to have plenty, and yet that plenty is so elusive for women, girls and PLHIV keeps me going.

I have participated, and continue to participate in response to women’s and PLHIV’s issues at the professional programming level, as well as at the community and grassroots level. I do not know how else to keep it real without connecting the two so as to make a real difference in the lives of those who need to be assisted to their feet.

So much progress has been made at country level, with stated political will and implementers showing visibility through radio and television programmes, public awareness meetings in communities and once dormant hotel businesses picking up due to workshops, a lot still needs to be done in terms of service delivery.

The women at the grassroots level, and the people living with HIV, want to see real differences in their quality of life from the interventions by the government and humanitarian and health and rights organisations. They want to be active participants in the planning and implementation of the programmes that impact on their day-to-day lives.

They are tired of being statistics; being made to pose for cameras for pictures that will be shared in reports and publications they never have sight of; they are tired of being shoved in queues where they are only seen as just another HIV statistic that only comes to be ticked off as having collected medicines.

They are also tired of the billboards and big cars emblazoned with well-meaning messages that may be the only evidence to the ordinary person of any HIV and AIDS work being done. It is an exciting journey, always full of surprises and new lessons, yet the journey is painfully bumpy at times. However, the milestones however small, the few goals that put smiles on previously dejected faces, are all worth the while.

I would not exchange the experience, because for all those stumbling blocks that have continuously been thrown in my way, somehow they have become Godsend as they have always provided a much needed stepping stone.

While the communities continue to cry out for meaningful service-delivery, I will always be there to raise the alarm where necessary. As we commemorate the one hundredth International Women's Day, the nation needs to look beyond doing the norm, and step out of the comfort zone to see and respond to those that have been invisible for years.

ALL THIS WEEK UNTIL MARCH 8, INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY, H-METRO WILL BE PUBLISHING PERSONAL REFLECTIONS BY WOMEN ON WHAT CHALLENGES THEY FACE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE DUTIES AS WOMEN AND PROFESSIONALS IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
