Behavior change communication is a major component of our advocacy carried out at community level for targeted STIs / HIV intervention that are gender sensitive and cost effective through networking and collaboration with like-minded organizations.

We arrange gender intergraded fora for discussion on issues that have to do with sexuality and gender focus on reproductive health and right in our approach to promote communication, decision making, and negotiation skills for all sexual encounters as means to protect HIV/AIDS vulnerable group.

HIV/AIDS Advocacy

At first glance, advocacy may be the most nebulous aspect of HIV/AIDS prevention and care. But it is just as, if not a more important part of working with and for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Advocacy is what changes the government policies and practices that would otherwise limit the availability of prevention awareness or access to effective therapy. It encourages governments to respond to the effect of HIV/AIDS on their citizens. It creates national and international responses that can reach even the smallest, most obscure communities. It brings in funding from wealthy nations to help in their fight against the pandemic.

While it is absolutely necessary to provide education and care, it is also important to convince the international community of the urgency of action.

But what can you do to learn more, or be more involved in advocacy?
