Parliamentarians for Women's Health
|
Parliamentarians for Women’s Health is a groundbreaking initiative in East and southern Africa to strengthen parliamentarians’ efforts to improve women’s and girls’ access to health services, specifically HIV and AIDS treatment, prevention, care and counseling.
|
The three-year project (2005 to 2007) works with a group of select parliamentarians in four countries – Botswana, Kenya, Namibia and Tanzania – to:
-
Increase communication and links between parliamentarians and civil society, especially with organizations of HIV-positive women.
-
Convene national and regional workshops for the purpose of increasing parliamentarians’ awareness of women’s health care needs and the economic and political barriers in their countries.
-
Provide technical assistance for capacity building in areas of importance to the parliamentarians, such as working with the media, devising budgets that support women’s health, and researching health-related legislation nationally, regionally and internationally.
