Women in Zimbabwe are disproportionately affected by HIV, with infection rates of 21.1% among women compared to 14.5% among men. Condom use within marriage is low, and most infections occur when people get married. Advocacy and training of leaders to promote gender equality, as well as interpersonal communication sessions and programs promoting responsible behavior can help address gender-based vulnerabilities to HIV in Zimbabwe. Focusing on changing social norms and directly involving men and people living with HIV are also important.

From a structural functionalist perspective, mental health is affected by social changes. Social stressors can cause depression. The document states that approximately 5% of male youth and 12% of female youth aged 12-19 in Canada experience major depressive episodes. To address this issue from a structural functionalist view, healthcare and social institutions must work together to ensure the well-being of all members of society, especially adolescents suffering from depression.

This document summarizes a systematic review of gender-integrated programming that aims to reduce gender-based violence (GBV). The review identified 55 interventions globally, with 12 located in South Asia. Most interventions engaged men and boys and employed transformative strategies like challenging gender norms and empowering vulnerable groups. Transformative programs effectively changed attitudes around GBV while accommodating strategies mobilized communities against practices like female genital mutilation. The review recommends continued involvement of men and boys in GBV programs combined with empowerment strategies and structural opportunities to achieve health and gender outcomes.

A survey of youth ages 14 to 21 in Newark, NJ found that 29.6% reported experiencing some form of healthcare discrimination. Participants reported being victims of discrimination themselves or knowing others who faced discrimination. Some participants said they had to teach healthcare providers about transgender care or had trouble accessing health insurance due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. The results demonstrated a need for more education on sexual minority issues in the Newark community.
Linking Data on Violence Against Children to Action for Impact
Linking Data on Violence Against Children to Action for ImpactChristian Connections for International Health
This document discusses using data on violence against children to guide actions to address the issues. It provides the following key points:
- Violence Against Children Surveys (VACS) have been completed in over 20 countries and provide data on physical, sexual, and emotional violence experienced by children.
- The data identifies problems, such as high rates of early sexual debut and sexual violence experienced by girls and boys before age 18. It also shows gaps in prevention efforts for ages 9-14.
- In Uganda, VACS data was used to help target evidence-based interventions through the DREAMS program, such as parenting programs, in districts with the highest rates of sexual violence and HIV.

This document discusses programs and policies for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It argues against NCD prevention and control in LMICs, claiming that NCDs are not common, management is unaffordable, and investments are inappropriate. However, others such as Jeff Meer, Paul Holmes, Branka Legetic, and Antony Duttine would likely disagree and support NCD prevention and control programs in LMICs.

The program aims to serve 300 at-risk youth ages 11-18 annually through abstinence-only education and mentorship programs. CHOICES goals are to delay sexual initiation, encourage abstaining from non-marital sex, and reduce risk factors for unsafe sex among minority youth. The document cites high rates of teen pregnancy and STIs in the target communities as issues the program seeks to address.
TUL 560-8-2 Microfinance and Women - Mayou summary
This document discusses four perspectives on using microfinance to empower women and presents Linda Mayou's thesis. Mayou argues that microfinance alone does not necessarily empower women and that programs need to intentionally include other empowerment interventions. The document also outlines different paradigms regarding gender and microfinance, cautions about assuming microfinance leads to empowerment, and concludes that development programs must address multiple areas of women's lives to achieve holistic empowerment.
Making the case jan 09 (3) 28 oct 2008
The document discusses the importance of collaboration and integration across health and education agencies to address disparities. It notes that minority communities are disproportionately impacted by achievement gaps, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, and unintended teen pregnancy. Health and education disparities are often influenced by the same root causes, including lack of access to services, stigma, and socioeconomic factors. The document advocates for recognizing the benefits of collaboration, such as improved health and academic outcomes for at-risk youth. It also acknowledges barriers but stresses the importance of making progress, for example by strengthening partnerships and sharing data.

Social pensions provide cash transfers to the elderly without requiring contribution histories. They can help reduce poverty among the elderly. Countries implement social pensions either universally for all elderly individuals or through targeted means-tested programs. Evidence from studies in Africa, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East show that social pensions can significantly reduce elderly poverty with costs ranging from 0.7-3% of GDP depending on the country and program design.

Engaging Men in Family Planning: How? Why? IBP Interactive SessionInstitute for Reproductive Health Georgetown University
This document discusses different frameworks for engaging men in family planning:
1) The 1994 ICPD framework called for programs to educate and enable men to play a more active role in reproductive decisions.
2) The Men and Family Planning framework from 1999 aimed to increase male involvement in contraceptive use but focused on demographic goals rather than women's empowerment.
3) The Male Equality framework proposes services exclusively for men based on the belief that men's reproductive health needs are underserved.
4) The Gender Equity framework sensitizes men and boys about gender equality, rights, and empowerment in reproductive health.201 poverty hs

MCHIP/Egypt implemented a community-based social and behavior change program with a focus on gender to improve maternal, newborn and child health outcomes. The program trained over 1,200 community health workers across 6 governorates and 120 villages to provide home visits, group sessions, and referrals. A key intervention was "Family Solidarity Modules" that used popular media and discussion to engage community members, especially mothers, fathers and grandmothers of young children, on how gender roles and social norms influence health practices. An endline survey found improved knowledge and practices related to antenatal care, newborn care, child nutrition, and joint decision-making among men who participated compared to those who did not.

Adolescents, social protection and HIV in South Africa
This document summarizes the Swa Koteka study which aims to determine if conditional cash transfers given to young women in South Africa to encourage school attendance can reduce their risk of HIV infection. The study uses a randomized controlled trial design across 24 villages. Some villages receive a community mobilization intervention targeting young men to change gender norms. Young women ages 14-20 either receive monthly cash transfers conditional on school attendance or serve as the control group. The primary outcome is assessing if conditional cash transfers lower HIV incidence rates after 3 years. Secondary outcomes include rates of HSV-2, risky sexual behaviors, and school attendance.

Inequality
This document discusses social determinants of health and health inequalities. It will include an interactive game to illustrate social determinants and how unequal social conditions can influence health. Differences in health status and access to health resources between populations can lead to health inequalities, some of which may be considered unfair or avoidable. Addressing social factors like poverty, living and working conditions, rather than just healthcare access, can help reduce health inequities.

The document discusses a research study on the relationship between patriarchy, women's rights, and vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. The study analyzed data from 200 HIV-positive women in India to examine how factors like early marriage, lack of decision-making power, domestic violence, and economic dependence increased women's vulnerability to infection. The findings suggest women experiencing greater powerlessness in these areas had higher rates of HIV, indicating patriarchal social norms that restrict women's autonomy and bodies play a role in the transmission of HIV/AIDS.
Estimates of mobile population111
This document provides estimates of mobile populations crossing borders between India and Nepal/Bangladesh based on mapping and line listing data collected at transit sites.
Key findings include:
- Over 12,000 Nepalis from Accham and Kanchanpur districts cross into India through two transit points in Nepal each year, with around 8,500 heading to Delhi and Mumbai.
- In Delhi, the mobile Nepali population is estimated between 24,000-30,000, with around 3,650 meeting criteria to be considered an "impact population".
- In Mumbai, previous projects have reached around 40,000 Nepalis, suggesting an impact population of around 3,360 for this project if it focuses on certain source

EMPHASIS is a 5-year initiative funded by the Big Lottery Fund, UK to reduce the vulnerability of mobile populations in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal to HIV/AIDS. It aims to deliver interventions along mobility routes to influence policies relating to safe mobility. High poverty, unemployment, instability, and economic opportunities drive mobility between the countries. Mobility increases HIV risk due to isolation, exploitation, and limited access to services. EMPHASIS will test cross-border service models, build knowledge of mobile populations, build partner capacity, and influence policies and attitudes across the two main routes: Bangladesh to Kolkata, India and Nepal to Delhi, India.

1) More people were newly infected with HIV in 2007 (2.7 million) than were put on treatment (0.8 million), showing that new infections continue to outpace access to treatment.
2) Countries that made progress in addressing HIV/AIDS saw it as a problem that communities must take ownership of and address through people-driven responses rather than relying solely on commodities or services.
3) The Constellation works to stimulate and connect local responses to HIV/AIDS by supporting the development of "Community Life Competence" - a process where communities assess their strengths and vulnerabilities, develop plans to address issues like HIV, take action, and share their experiences with other communities.
Synopsis of the baseline assessment
This document provides a summary of the baseline assessment report conducted by MLMC in March 2012. It outlines the objectives of the assessment which were to examine vulnerabilities, behaviors, and perspectives of adolescent girls and boys related to HIV risk. The study design utilized qualitative methods with adolescent girls and boys, their parents/spouses, and community members. Key findings included limited assets, awareness, and opportunities for adolescent girls compared to boys. Risk behaviors like pre-marital sex and substance use were reported. Access to health information and services was also limited, especially for girls.

The document summarizes a study on motivational factors for volunteer caregivers for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Kumbo, North West Province, Cameroon. The study used focus groups and questionnaires with 130 volunteers to identify motivational determinants and develop a Volunteer Commitment Score. The study found that previous experience caring for orphans, a positive childhood, higher education levels, regular supportive supervision, and proximity to OVC were statistically significant factors for increased volunteer commitment. Implications included selecting volunteers based on these criteria, participatory supervision, and using a combination of indicators to measure commitment. Further research was recommended to validate the commitment score tool and understand volunteer attrition.
Health sectorreformsnadia
The document discusses how health sector reforms since the 1980s have negatively impacted women's access to sexual and reproductive health services. Health sector reforms promoted privatization and market-based mechanisms in healthcare, treating health as a commodity rather than a right. This has led to decreased access to services for the poor, especially women. Women often bear the burden of informal, unpaid care work when formal health services are reduced. The document calls for governments to prioritize quality universal healthcare, including women's sexual and reproductive needs, through increased funding and more gender-sensitive policies.

Faith-based Responses to HIV and AIDS relating to Women in Malawi - Elena Sarra
Faith-based organizations (FBOs) play an important role in addressing HIV/AIDS in Malawi. [1] Women are disproportionately affected by HIV in Malawi, representing 58% of people living with HIV due to socioeconomic inequalities and lack of power in relationships that increase vulnerability. [2] FBOs deliver a large portion of healthcare in Malawi and have significant influence in communities through religious leaders, making them well positioned to address issues related to HIV like stigma. [3] The document examines the effectiveness of FBO approaches in Malawi in relation to women in areas like reducing new infections, deaths, and discrimination.

Burden of HIV and Research Gaps Among Key Populations in Sub-Saharan Africa
Key populations including sex workers, men who have sex with men, and people who inject drugs experience disproportionately high HIV burdens in sub-Saharan Africa due to various biological, behavioral, and structural factors. HIV prevalence among female sex workers ranges from 10.9% in Eastern Europe to 36.9% in sub-Saharan Africa, where sex workers are 12 times more likely to be infected than other women. Men who have sex with men also experience high HIV prevalence, though data remains limited in sub-Saharan Africa. Combination prevention approaches including behavioral, biomedical, and structural interventions are needed to address the outsized impact of HIV on key populations.
Impact of syndromic management of sexually transmitted
The document summarizes a study that investigated the impact of syndromic management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among out-of-school female youths in Sagamu, Nigeria. An intervention training on syndromic management lasted 4 weeks for 80 female youths. Based on pre- and post-test analysis, syndromic management was found to have a significant impact on treating urethra discharge symptoms and abnormal vaginal discharge symptoms, but no significant impact on genital ulcer disease or lower abdominal pain symptoms. The study concludes that syndromic management can help address STIs and related issues among youths if properly implemented.

This document discusses women and HIV globally and in Myanmar. It notes that HIV is still a leading cause of death for women aged 15-49 worldwide. In Asia, the proportion of people living with HIV who are women has increased from 19% in 2000 to 35% in 2008. Women are often vulnerable due to being partners of men in high-risk groups. The document recommends improving HIV testing and treatment services for women, developing targeted prevention for at-risk groups of women, and promoting socioeconomic support to reduce stigma faced by women living with HIV.
Presentation by Mandy Govender, Health Promotion Board
1) A study found that targeted and inclusive sex education starting at a young age, as well as peer/mentor interventions and technology-based prevention strategies, could help reduce new HIV infections among young men who have sex with men.
2) A study in South Africa found that both men and women balance discussing HIV risks with maintaining their relationships. They sometimes openly discussed HIV status, cautiously brought it up due to fear, or avoided the topic when necessary.
3) As people with HIV live longer due to treatment, there is an interaction between aging and HIV. Programs need to be tailored for an aging population with HIV, and aging support systems need preparation for this group.

This document discusses strategies for involving men in HIV prevention efforts in South Africa. It notes that HIV disproportionately affects women due to gender inequalities. Involving men is important because men's risky behaviors and violence against women increase HIV risk. The document recommends adopting positive strategies that promote gender equality and empower women, while also improving men's lives. This includes engaging men in reproductive healthcare, caregiving, and addressing social norms around masculinity. Large-scale interventions are needed that integrate these issues and collaborate with communities and cultural/religious groups.
Working with Men to Improve PMTCT Outcomes
The document discusses key issues around involving men to improve prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV outcomes. It notes that men are essential to effectively implementing WHO PMTCT guidelines. However, women often do not participate in PMTCT programs due to fear of disclosure and violence from partners if they test positive for HIV. While research shows both positive and negative partner responses to disclosure, the predominant view assumes violence and abandonment. The document calls for understanding men's attitudes and increasing their involvement in PMTCT through engagement and addressing barriers.

A survey of over 900 youth ages 16-24 in Cape Town, South Africa found that rates of anal sex were higher among boys (31%) than girls (11%). Youth who had engaged in anal sex were more likely to have negative views of abstinence, inconsistent condom use, experience or perpetrate dating violence and sexually coercive behaviors. While rates differed between boys and girls, risk factors associated with anal sex were similar, indicating a need for harm reduction programs addressing anal sex and its integration into relationship education curriculum.Exploring The Relationship Between Re-Entry, Teen Pregnancies & Early Marriag...
This document is a study exploring the relationship between Zambia's re-entry policy for pregnant girls, adolescent pregnancies, and early marriages. It finds that while the policy allows girls to return to school after pregnancy, utilization of the policy remains low with less than 40% of girls returning. The study was conducted in Pemba district, Zambia, where World Vision operates, using literature reviews, interviews, and questionnaires. It finds that teenage pregnancies are increasing due to factors related to modernization, while the re-entry policy requires reform and broader implementation beyond the Ministry of Education alone to effectively address the problems of teenage pregnancy and early marriage in Zambia.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
