Research on interlinkages between VAW and HIV for UNAIDS

Research

Salamander Trust has been collaborating in a research programme commissioned by UNAIDS to strengthen and expand the evidence base regarding community-level programmes which address violence against women in the context of HIV.

In partnership with the Health Economics and HIV and AIDS Research Division (HEARD) of the University of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, the AIDS Legal Network, the ATHENA Network and Project Empower, we have been supporting the design of an implementation and monitoring framework for community based organizations in six countries based on the latest evidence and promising practices related to violence against women (VAW)  and HIV. This work has documented and determined the effectiveness of this framework and lessons learnt.
