- Abstract
"International experience has demonstrated that gender must be addressed if HIV/AIDS prevention and care is to be effective. Overall, the China-UK project is moving in the right direction on gender by aiming for participation and empowerment of primary stakeholders. This is fundamental to gender because primary stakeholders in this project are marginalised in part by society’s norms around gender. Furthermore, listening to the priorities of women and men primary stakeholders is the first step in identifying and addressing gender differences and needs. However, beyond this, China-UK has not addressed gender in any systematic sense. The result is variable implementation including some weak practice which is either gender blind, or recognises and responds to gender differences and but does not challenge gender inequalities, and some good practice which does challenge inequalities and stereotypes. This report recommends a strategy to systematise gender in China-UK."
