New SAfAIDS Publications A Handbook for Integrating Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights into HIV Programmes
30
This handbook uses participatory learning techniques to increase knowledge about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and how these relate to HIV, drawing on the richness of experience that is present in a room full of people who have been working around HIV issues in communities. Although there is often an understanding of the importance of rights among people working in community-based organizations (CBOs), there may be a lack of knowledge regarding the specific links between rights and HIV. This handbook aims to increase knowledge in this area. The training uses a series of practical activities that guide participants through the process of completing a SRHR tool to give feasible ways of integrating SRHR into programmes. This tool is something participants will be able to take away with them and can be used to begin integrating SRHR into programmes.

“Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we don’t we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. And since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one”. Tupac Shakur, American rap Artist (1971-1996)
