Project: HIV Prevention Through Empowerment & Equal Rights for Women
Partner: Edzimkulu
Programs aimed at the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS cannot succeed without challenging the structures of unequal power relations between women and men, including marital rape, economic and emotional abuse, violence, and threats to evict a woman from her home.
Edzimkulu, has trained more than 120 facilitators to conduct Stepping Stones groups throughout the district. Stepping Stones is a program which is based on the relationship between HIV infection and gender inequality.
