Stamping out Gender Discrimination
to Prevent HIV/AIDS

Anirudha Alam

Gender discrimination saps social consistency jeopardizing health and instructional development. It is progressively recognized as a key factor that makes women seriously vulnerable to AIDS and STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections). Improving and intensifying poverty reduction systems pragmatically, overall development programs must be en-gendered. Otherwise development achievements may be endangered failing to integrate epidemic.

Approximately 17.7 million women were living with HIV/AIDS in 2006 all over the world. Multiple vulnerabilities like social, cultural, economical and biological constituents intertwined as a vicious circle may make prevalence sky-high anytime amid women in the fabricating countries of Asia. So we have to raise a clarion call on combating the disseminate of epidemic through ensuring gender equality.

Gender discrimination promotes unequal access to resources and opportunities, sexual violence, exercise of unprotected sex, women trafficking and women's paltry representation and participation in social development activities. All of this result in power disparities that characterize personal relationships amidst male and female undermine the development of not only women but also a nation to a outstanding extent. In this context, capitalizing on capacity building initiatives for vulnerable women encompassing sensitization, training & orientation, substituting information, experience & views and networking may play an necessary role to reduce the incidents of HIV as a whole.

Having significant and multifaceted affect on public health, education, technology, business and administration sector as well as on demography, household, macro economy and society on a great scale, HIV/AIDS proceeds to disseminate in Asia and the Pacific. Comprehensive HIV/AIDS preventative action programs have been initiated with great success in some countries. Nonetheless various grave components like illiteracy, gender inequality, unprotected extra marital sexual behavior, increasing use of intravenous drugs, isolation from generic health care services as well as lack of outreach treatment and care services are contributing to the disseminate of HIV/AIDS gradually from most-at-risk population to the usual population. As a result, the number of HIV contagions amidst women is increasing day by day. This is why focusing very appropriately and timely on the importance of women empowerment, policy makers ought to be made gender sensitized necessarily.

Adopting an inter-sectoral approach to gender equality and establishing links amongst gender, development and HIV/AIDS, vulnerable nations have to have technical supports to confront epidemic. There is no substitute to integrate gender into such major development areas as good governance, poverty alleviation, disaster management & recovery, sustainable surroundings promotion, data & development communicating (IDC) as well as HIV/AIDS prevention.

An in-depth study entitled ‘The affect of women empowerment on HIV/AIDS preventative action in Bangladesh' conducted by BEES (Bangladesh Extension Education Services) suggests that women are largely vulnerable to HIV/AIDS due to their inherited conservative behavior, beliefs in superstitions and religious dogmas. They are deprived of enjoying their minimal rights as well. Consequently they are affected by gender discrimination severely. A recent survey initiated by Rainbow Nari O Shishu Kallayan Foundation showed that only 22% young women (15-25 years) had heard of HIV/AIDS and do not know how to protect themselves from AIDS/STIs.

HIV/AIDS epidemic is mounting all over the world exceptionally in the devising countries being the biggest impediment to humane development. Young girls and women are primarily vulnerable due to their lack of power and means to protect themselves from exercise of unsafe sex and ignorance as regards procreative health. Through a gender lens, multisectoral development schemes will have to be both pro-poor and pro-women supporting the integration of HIV/AIDS preventative action into the development planning activities. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are intended to halve uttermost poverty and hunger by 2015. So in the course of reducing poverty, publicity of gender equitable behavings through gender cognizance will be capable to bestow to reversing the disseminate of HIV/AIDS as per the desired accomplishment .

More Important Than You Can Imagine!
By Gina Bongiorni
I have had a wonderful dog for six years and have learned a lot along the way. I have learned more from this book than I learned in those six years. This book is so important for all pet owners. We need to be prepared to help our pets when they get minor illnesses or have serious medical problems. The book has more than 150 health care topics listed alphabetically. The book is quite easy to read, and by simply turning to a page you will know whether or not you need to call the vet immediately, later, or not at all.

The list of components necessary for a good first aid kit is helpful as well. Also, the book gives a chart of human medicines that can and cannot be used for dogs and cats along with correct dosage.

Even if you do not plan on reading the book all the way through, purchase it and tuck it away on a shelf, because you never know when you may need it!
