Greater awareness is needed

Dear friends ,

thank you for sharing with me your own experience concerning the situation of women and girls as far as HIV/AIDS is concerned. my worry mostly is because women form the backbone of our economy, especially at the rural level. the life of their family depends almost entirely on them. most women have averagely 3 children.

with such a position in the soceity it is dangerous if this group has to be affected to this level.

the government is doing alot in this area of… Continue

Songs for change

Songs are powerful tools to inspire change in people. Samraksha teams and the communities have composed and popularized many songs. These are songs challenging stigma, promoting positive living and promoting bonding among and across communities. Here are some instances which particularly stuck me, about the power of songs.

One song speaks the story of a HIV affected child, who has been abandoned by her uncle and aunt. The song traces her life through the phase when she was abandoned… Continue

Inclusion: montrons l'exemple!

Les blogs d'aujourd'hui m'incitent à partager un souvenir qui m'est cher.

Ruhaha, juillet 2010.

Nous visitons cette communauté rwandaise proche de la frontière du Burundi. Nous venons des six pays de la GLIA et d'Europe. Entrés dans la salle de réunion, nous refusons de nous assoir à la haute table, et nous mélangeons aux personnes qui nous accueillent. Bosco qui facilite les échanges, nous demande de nos tourner vers nos voisins et de nous faire l'accolade. Nous voici… Continue

Personal sharing inspiring action in others

The sharing of the lived experience of the people with HIV is a source of support for PLHIV and also influences attitudes of other important people like their famiy and their community towards them. This can lead to changes in discriminatory behavior and active offers of support

During a group education session, one positive woman shared that her elder son had started acting in a very discriminatory way towards her. He kept complaining that her illness had stigmatized him, and he… Continue

Some inspiring stories of inclusion

Samraksha has been working with different village communities in North Karnataka, and recently engaged in a reflective perspective building process using the self-assessment framework.

Communities dream about being an inclusive society. They want to create a society where there is no stigma, where people with HIV are treated as others, and are able to publicly disclose their status, without any fears and seek support from others. These are some inspiring stories

Un salto hacia fuera después de un paso hacia dentro: cómo llegué a conocer AIDS Competence y qué significa para mí

Hola a todos y todas!

Como es la primera vez que comparto aquí mi experiencia con la Constelación, quería empezar explicando brevemente cómo llegué a conocer la comunidad de la AIDS Competence. Me acuerdo muy bien del primer día cuando oír hablar del enfoque de la Competence. Era con mi amiga MariJo. Ella volvía de un encuentro en Francia y quería compartir conmigo el entusiasmo de un grupo de personas en el que participaba y con el que se había reunido allí, interesadas en trabajar… Continue

SALT Approach and Demistification

Dear All;

This is what I have been learned from facilitating UNICEF Project review at 7 January 2009. At that time I had only 1.5 hour to share SALT as a way of thinkimg and working.

My college from UNICEF and me agreed to maintain reporting and recording (RR) mechanism due to maternal and child health among other priorities. Session was intended by 58 participants from 19 basic healt provider/clinic. As all of participants admit thta providing RR system due the program is… Continue

The second major crisis being faced by Haiti

Every death diminishes us. It is much more painful when it is untimely

and catastrophic in nature.

The poorest country of the western hemisphere (Haiti) has had the worst

earthquake of the last two centuries anywhere in the Globe.

Let us all do our level best to mobilize all types of support at the different

levels (especially though the Indian Diaspora in the USA and Canada)

which our fellow humans desperately need at these troubled… Continue

Beginning to introduce myself: DD Advocacy

This is my first blog entry. I first wrote it as comment in response to Laurence Gilliot, but, then, realized that if enhanced a little, it might serve to introduce myself, at least one facet of my life.

I look forward to spending more time on the aidscompetence site, perhaps finding community that embraces our similarities while respecting our differences.

Currently, most of my "free" time is required by work to save from closure our State operated campuses for people… Continue

Women and Girls: The vulnerable groups

Dear all,
good day. In 2007an HIV/AIDS screening survey was carried out in Cameroon. 7819 people were tested for HIV. 1210 were declared positive. Of this number, 915 were women and 215 men. Alarming isn't it.
More action needs to be taken for these figures to reduce.
Think about it.

Peer education in the fight against HIV/AIDS

Peers have great potential to influence opinion in their communities and physically deliver services and effect change. Drama and songs were powerful instruments used by peers in a sensitisation campaign to create a greater awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS in some schools in Yaounde - Cameroon.
peer engagement increases their sense of responsible behaviour vis a vis each other and thus the likelyhood of prevention.
