Events Research Training

Dakar, Senegal 16-19 September 2013 Welcome!

This page contains resources produced by many organisations working on gender-based violence, engagement of men and boys as partners, and the meaningful involvement of women living with HIV in the context of HIV. It was developed for the participants of a workshop held in September 2013 in Dakar, hosted by UNAIDS West and Central Africa Regional Support Team, UNFPA, UNDP, UN Women, ATHENA, Sonke Gender Justice Network, Salamander Trust and other partners.

This is the fourth workshop to be held on this theme. Each workshop has included different country delegations. The first workshop was held in Nairobi, Kenya, in November/December 2010. The second was held in Istanbul, Turkey in 2011. The third was held in Johannesburg in 2012. Both the first and second workshop brought together delegations from many different countries of the world. The third workshop was the first regionally focused workshop. This fourth workshop is also regionally based. The materials presented by participants in the workshop in Turkey in 2011 can be accessed here. The materials presented by participants in the workshop in Johannesburg in 2012 can be accessed here.
