Gender, Rights and HIV/Aids.
An IPS Multi Media Communication Programme

Recognising that gender is a key factor in understanding and tackling the causes and the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, IPS launched a multi-media programme in June 2001.

With a core product of news features researched and written by the professional network of IPS journalists in every region of the world, the work further encompasses training for journalists, networking with civil society and publications.

Support for the work in 2001 and 2002 has already been received from UNIFEM, SIDA Sweden, UNICEF, UNFPA, SAfAIDS (Southern Africa AIDS Information Dissemination Service) and WLSA (Women and Law in Southern Africa Research Trust).
