Gender awareness, Stepping Stone For HIV prevention
The spread of HIV and STI is the assembly in developing countries in the inequality of the sexes and taboos about sexuality. It leads to discrimination and stigma associated with the drastic poverty and marginalization. For empowerment, happiness and prosperity, awareness of gender may contribute to the promotion of human rights to be free from coercion and violence to sexuality. Sexual rights, a comprehensive framework to guide the understanding of linkages between different aspects of sexuality carefully to see that the campaign against sexual violence must continue.
The number of women living with HIV fungi compared to the number of people worldwide. In 2004, the number of women (15 +) living with HIV to 12.7 million in sub-Saharan Africa. But the number rose to 13.3 million euros in 2006. HIV has disproportionately of women in South Africa. Young women (15-24 years) are four times more likely to be infected with HIV are younger than this region. The prevalence among young women was 17% compared to 4.4% among youth in 2005.
HIV / AIDS entrenches inequality between men and women, as well as the denial and threats to fundamental human rights. The relationship between HIV, gender and sexuality can be together as a vicious circle. Unfortunately, after this limit women’s access to reproductive health information, STI (sexually transmitted diseases), prevention and treatment. There is no doubt that the difference in treatment between men and women, making women more vulnerable to poverty and difficult STI.
According to the findings of the bees (Bangladesh Extension Education Services), 95% of girls in rural Bangladesh are vulnerable to STI and disorders resulting from sex discrimination, sexual violence and lack of knowledge of reproductive health. You do not know how to protect against HIV / AIDS. Rainbow Nari O Shishu Kallyan Foundation found that girls are twice as vulnerable to HIV / STD (sexually transmitted diseases) that the adolescent boys in urban areas of Bangladesh due to sexual harassment. On behalf of the so-called equality between women and men, their reckless mixing subculture makes them susceptible clear.
To stop the spread of HIV / AIDS, it is necessary to ensure the stigma and discrimination against women living with HIV / AIDS. We rely on collective action at all levels, from community to national level, gender equality, HIV and STI prevention through a coordinated approach to establish the right of “safe sex”. In 2005, half of new HIV infections occurred in unprotected sex in China. In addition to spreading HIV-one after another, most of the population at risk in the general population, the number of HIV infections among women is rising rapidly.
In developing countries, most women have very little or no knowledge of HIV transmission and the risk before they are diagnosed HIV-positive. Married women do not want to believe that they are at risk of infection. In Bangladesh, women are, by their families to conceive. On the other hand, feel under presser from health professionals in order to avoid conception. But in most cases, none of them with the information necessary to clearly identify vulnerable women conceive safety or to reduce the risk of mother-child transmission.
The involvement of women living with HIV, national social organizations, community organizations (CBOs), academics and politicians, there can be a promising project for the development of strategies to defend and extend the counseling for women diagnosed Antenatal clinics. There is a need to improve the situation of gender-specific response to the needs and desires of women more vulnerable. Consequently, it will be possible for your life skills to enable them to work with local researchers, monitors, evaluators, policy makers at all levels of planning and program implementation, research, monitoring, evaluation and policy. Therefore, it would be possible to keep HIV at bay in terms of discrimination, stigma and sexual violence through awareness of gender as a whole.
