Strengthening
Resistance: Confronting Violence Against Women and HIV/AIDS (2006)
Strengthening Resistance focuses on the points of
intersection in the social, political and public health crises of violence
against women and HIV/AIDS. The report uses a
human rights lens to focus on critical political challenges and on
innovative strategies used by activists worldwide as they respond to the
links between violence and HIV/AIDS. From street theater to
telenovelas/soap operas to traditional lobbying, activists in both VAW and
HIV/AIDS communities are beginning to work together to focus attention to
ways both crises are causes and consequences of each other. Neither can be
addressed adequately without taking into account the links between them
and the human rights implications of each crisis on its own, and in
conjunction with the other.
Strengthening Resistance is designed as an overview of
the most salient issues, and is meant for activists and policy makers
alike who may be familiar with HIV/AIDS, violence against women or human
rights but not necessarily the nexus across all of these areas. The report
highlights nine creative advocacy initiatives from different countries and
regions, offers recommendations to a range of actors and contains a
resource section for further study.
Funded, in part, by the Joint United Nations Programme on
HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) through the Global Coalition on Women and
AIDS.
Researched, written and edited by Cynthia Rothschild, Mary
Anne Reilly and Sara A. Nordstrom.
