Community leadership

Participatory tools for working with communities on gender & sexuality (pdf 1.6mb)

This toolkit aims to enable those working on HIV and AIDS issues to address gender and sexuality effectively as well as giving guidance on building trust in the community.

It looks specifically at issues surrounding:
- Gender, sexuality and vulnerability
- Sex and relationships
- Sexual violence
- Working together
- Preparing action plans

It contains participatory activities which enable groups of men and women of different ages to explore how gender and sexuality affect their lives and identify changes which they wish to make to improve their relationships and sexual health.

The toolkit aims to establish the ongoing involvement of key stakeholders such as chiefs, traditional advisors, teachers, health workers, civil society organisations and religious and other leaders.
