Gender discrimination and gender-based violence fuel the HIV epidemic.
Gender discrimination and gender-based violence fuel the HIV epidemic.
On World AIDS Day 2018, HIV testing is being brought into the spotlight. And for good reason. Around the world, 37 million people are living with HIV, the highest number ever, yet a quarter do not know that they have the virus.
Without addressing HIV-related stigma and discrimination, the world will not achieve the goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. The global partnership’s goal is to reach zero HIV-related stigma and discrimination.
The Life orientation programme is designed for young adolescents to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed choices about sexual matters. It consists of an educator's guide and a learner's workbook, developed for Grade 9 students.
In 2007, an estimated total of 2 million children were living with HIV - eight times more than in 1990 - while both new infections and deaths among children have grown three-fold globally since 1990.
The purpose of the manual is to guide teachers to have a better understanding of the presentation of Life Skills as a subject.
