This two-part guidance note is part of a series of DFID guidance notes on VAWG. It focuses specifically on how to address VAWG in education programming, where DFID aims to make progress towards two key impacts: 1. Girls and boys gain valuable knowledge, skills and self-confidence through education in gender-responsive environments free from all forms of violence or threat of violence; 2. Education systems, through formal and informal settings, actively contribute to the development of more gender-equitable societies, where VAWG is not tolerated. …
The Gender assessment tool for national HIV responses is intended to assist countries assess their HIV epidemic, context and response from a gender perspective, helping them to make their HIV responses gender transformative and (as such) more effective. The Tool is specifically designed to support the development or review of national strategic plans (NSP) and to inform submissions to both country investment cases and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM).
The intended purpose of this compendium is to provide program managers, organizations, and policy makers with a menu of indicators to better “know their HIV epidemic/know their response” from a gender perspective in order to: strengthen national and subnational stakeholders’ understanding of their HIV epidemic and response from a gender equality perspective; monitor progress towards eliminating gender-based inequities in HIV responses, and monitor and evaluate programs that address specific types of gender equality interventions in the context of HIV.
Ce Manuel vise principalement à contribuer à la conception et à l’exécution de programmes dans le domaine de la Santé Reproductive et du VIH/SIDA qui intègrent des approches de nature à parvenir à l’équité/l’égalité des genres. Les programmes qui intègrent ces objectifs ont pour effet de maximiser l’accès et la qualité, d’appuyer la prise de décisions par l’individu et ses options en matière de reproduction, d’accroître la pérennité et de mettre en pratique les engagements internationaux des Etats-Unis et les politiques de l’USAID. Ce document a été conçu pour être un manuel de référence. Il peut servir à toute étape du cycle d’un programme, c’est-à-dire de la conception à l’évaluation. Ceci dit, il se révélera d’autant plus utile qu’il servira à guider les décisions prises tout au long du cycle des projets
Policy analysis tool: Addressing gender-based violence and integrating attention to engaging men and boys for gender equality in national strategic plans on HIV and AIDS
Women may make up half the world’s population, but they do not share it equally. This is especially evident when it comes to HIV. Half of all people living with HIV are women, yet many are underserved or do not know their status. Despite the many successes we have seen, women still face inequalities that will keep the AIDS response from reaching its full potential.
Drawing on the analysis of more than 100 key informant interviews as well as 100 global survey responses, this report is an effort to better understand where and in what ways women, particularly those most affected by the epidemic, are participating in the response; the opportunities for and challenges to their participation; and strategies that can be implemented and steps taken to advance their full and meaningful participation at all levels in order to ensure that the response to HIV and AIDS reflects women's priorities and needs. …

The programme guide contains practical steps needed to integrate measures on gender-based violence into reproductive health facilitites. It is also meant to help readers to understand the connections between reproductive and sexual health and violence. The guide was prepared for health care providers and managers but can also be used as a reference guide for advocacy purposes.
The report examines a broad range of evidence from around the world showing that systematic discrimination against women and girls causes extensive suffering and lost opportunities for both women and men, and holds back efforts to reduce poverty, improve health, stem the spread of HIV/AIDS and slow rapid population growth.
