Custom Tailored Programmes

Gender and Human Rights in HIV and AIDS Programmes- (Dates to be announced)

Overview

In Zambia as in many other parts of the world human rights violations in the context of inequitable gender relations have been recognized as a critical underlying factor fueling the spread of the HIV and AIDS epidemic.

Promoting gender equality and the protection of human rights has therefore become an important strategy in reducing vulnerability to HIV and AIDS. To be effective and in order to respond strategically to these challenges, programme planners and managers implementing HIV and AIDS related programmes need to have a good understanding of the linkages between gender inequalities and human rights and the spread of the HIV and AIDS epidemic. Programmes further need to  know about strategies that are working both locally, regionally and internationally that promote legislature and other measures to eliminate these vices.

About the course

Gender and Human Rights in HIV and AIDS Programmes training has been developed to provide an opportunity for participants to have an understanding of the intersection between gender and human rights in the context of HIV and AIDS programming. Drawing principally from a post modernist social constructionist perspective the workshop will analyze the construction of male and female identities and on how this links with gender based inequality and inequity. It analyses the impact of gender relations on the different aspects of the HIV and AIDS epidemic as a platform to make recommendations for effective programme and policy options.

The workshop will make the relationship between gender, human rights and HIV and AIDS obvious to those working in the HIV and AIDS sector. More than that, it will seek to give guidance to programme planners and practitioners on how to keep these complex linkages in mind when planning or implementing HIV and AIDS related programmes.

Target group

The target groups for the course are senior and middle-level managers, planners and policy-makers and journalists from both both public and private media, HIV and AIDS gender consultans, HIV and AIDS programme implementers and including staff and volunteers from donor funded programmes. Others that stand to benefit from this course are HIV and AIDS control programme management and focal point persons from government ministries and departments, district councils, health management boards, public and private sector corporate institutions, civic and non governmental organizations. 

Course focus

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Conduct gender analysis in relation to HIV and AIDS programming
  • Competently advocate for rights-based gender-responsive policies and programmes
  • Apply gender analysis to their programmes
  • Identify opportunities for gender mainstreaming

The course is of  5 days duration and is non residential. It will be held at the ZAMCOM Lodge in Lusaka.

Training Methodology
