- Abstract
"This manual is a guide for community-based organizations to facilitate a community-led and -owned process that addresses stigma and genderbased violence in HIV/AIDS prevention efforts. It is based on findings from the Stigma and Violence Reduction Intervention (SVRI) project, conducted in Andhra Pradesh, India from 2003 to 2005. The project objective was to effect behavioral and attitudinal changes that would reduce the spread of HIV and AIDS among mobile and mobility-affected populations. More complete project findings are summarized separately.The SVRI project explored and described the origins and manifestations of stigma and intimate partner violence, including sexual violence experienced by mobile and mobility-affected sex workers, truckers’ helpers and truckers’ spouses. The project identified these groups as key populations because they often are victims of stigma and violence, and they can play an important role in changing norms that condone these behaviors. An intervention was designed and implemented in the project area based on the participatory research conducted with these populations and included cultural shows, advocacy meetings, networking of service providers, and a series of workshops for reflection and change."
