The article is about women who refuse to use condoms because of their misconceptions that condoms increase the risk of cervical cancer and STIs.
This article can be used to:
1. Show how media can help in dispelling myths around HIV and AIDS
2. Raise discussion about the responsibility of the media in covering HIV and AIDS.
3. Raise discussion on the gender aspects of HIV/AIDS.
4. Raise discussions about rural women and HIV/AIDS.
Trainer’s Notes:
The article is significant since it encourages the education of women, particularly rural women, on the correct usage of condoms to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. The article specifically acknowledges the role of culture in women’s vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. The article is also important because it quotes a woman induna who supports the education of women.
Discussion Questions:
1. What challenges do women face in protecting themselves from HIV/AIDS? The discussion should examine the role of culture and tradition and the impact it has on women’s ability to access information about sex and safer sex.
