Gender, HIV and the church
The case study outlines the programme in Burkina Faso and Zimbabwe over the last 3 years in working through the local church to challenge and change culturally and Biblically based attitudes on gender and sexual rights in the context of HIV and AIDS.
The projects took a relationship based approach to gender with the church communities. The programme has seen some amazing success and gives stories of transformation of those who participated. It outlines key aspects of the programme for replication, challenges faced and future issues to consider. The case study also includes Bible studies to use with churches to engage them on issues of Gender. (March 2009)
