Projects in South AfricaThe Other Half - Involving Xhosa Men in HIV/AIDS Programming (July 2006-2008)The Other Half Project seeks to address the disproportionate burden of HIV/AIDS on women in the Eastern Cape, one of South Africa’s poorest regions, by promoting male involvement in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Male behaviour is one of the main determinants of infection rates in women. By fostering dialogue between men and women, encouraging male youth participation in outreach programs, and strengthening the management capacity of the Ikhwezi Lokusa Wellness Centre to respond to the distinct needs of women, this project aims to challenge the socialized gender roles that increase women’s vulnerability to HIV/AIDS.
