Gender and HIV/AIDS: involvement of men |

 Changing men’s behaviour can improve women’s health
A new report finds that innovative programmes around the world are helping men to change sexist, risky and violent behaviour that harms the health and well-being of women and the communities in which they live. The report, Engaging men and boys in changing gender-based inequity in health, found that almost a third of the 58 programmes evaluated were successful in encouraging men to end violence against women, to care for their pregnant wives and children, and to take steps to prevent infecting their partners with HIV or becoming infected themselves. One shortcoming identified by the report, released in May, was that even successful programmes were limited to a pilot or short timeframe.
