HIV and AIDS Information Dissemination

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In light of a high HIV/AIDS prevalence rate among women in Zimbabwe, this work highlights the extent to which the Zimbabwe Women's Resource Centre and Network was effective in disseminating HIV/AIDS information to combat the pandemic among women. Literature reviewed that in as much as information was crucial in the fight against HIV/AIDS and there were other strategies that should be employed in combating HIV/AIDS complement information dissemination activities such as economic empowerment of women and promoting gender equality. The study revealed that most women did not have access to HIV/AIDS information they needed. Where such information was available, it was not based on formal needs assessment, hence, mostly irrelevant. The study recommended the ZWRCN to engage in effective needs assessment as well as partnering with other organisations whose mandate was gender and HIV/AIDS.
