Gender mainstreaming in HIV/AIDS: taking a multisectoral approach

This is part of a new mainstreaming series on development issues. This manual provides an overview of some of the major gender issues in the HIV and AIDS pandemic and offers suggestions for a multi-sectoral approach. It is intended to enhance the capacity of Commonwealth countries to develop gender sensitive HIV and AIDS strategies and policies. It encourages the building of partnerships which respect the perspectives of people living with HIV and assist countries in establishing monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. It gives a global overview of HIV and looks at the relationship between HIV and gender and the need for behavioural change in men.
