This training manual is divided into 4 training modules along with an introduction and appendix. In the first module, the authors outline basic facts and statistics on the HIV/AIDS epidemic and introduce the gender dimensions and human rights aspects. Module 2 is a detailed programme for a one-day workshop on gender concerns in HIV/AIDS and development. The gender disparities in HIV infection and reasons for female vulnerability to HIV/AIDS are discussed. Module 3 is a detailed programme for a two-day workshop on the human rights approach to HIV/AIDS. Many human rights topics are covered, with a focus on discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS and the implications for national development planning. Module 4 presents reactions from participants and evaluation questionnaires. Most of the modules provide training aids and reading lists. [Descriptors: Reproductive Rights - HIV/AIDS, International]
