Roundtable | |||
| |||
| The presentations in this roundtable cover two main themes: innovative approaches to preventing HIV/AIDS in South Africa, and gender issues in reproductive health (RH) programming. Three tables address the first, while the remainder address gender issues. South Africa has the largest number of HIV-positive people in the world, so urgent solutions are needed for both prevention and treatment. The presentations all discuss the University of Michigan Pedagogy of Action program and the Haniff HIV prevention module. Innovative approaches to be discussed include using traditional healers to convey messages, making communication messages appropriate to illiterate audiences, and using HIV prevention modules to build leadership among youth. These approaches may be applicable to other high HIV prevalence countries, especially in Africa. The gender presentations describe cultural factors associated with gender-based violence, gender factors affecting sexuality and reproductive behavior of men and women, and approaches to integrating gender perspectives in RH programs. Such an understanding is crucial to improving RH programming in general, and specifically to combating sexual violence that affects millions of women worldwide. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of each roundtable session, participants will: 1) gain an overview of the main issues surrounding the topics discussed, including gender equity, gender-based violence, and innovative approches to HIV/AIDS prevention in South Africa 2) have the opportunity to ask in-depth questions of presenters to gain a greater technical understanding of the issues involved. | |||
