14 October - Gender - Men taking lead in the fight against HIV/AIDS
In today's show we were joined Instudio by Phumzile Nywagi and Basil Mtungane – from Khululeka Men’s Support Group. This is a support group for HIV-positive men who are on antiretroviral treatment. Their aim is to promote gender equality and use their platform to fight for a transforma
tion of male sexuality in ways that ensure that women have more control over negotiating sexual relationships. They do this through its exclusive support for men, believing that if men are able to open up to each other in the all-male support group, then they will be more likely to reflect on and reconsider their own ideas about masculinity and sexuality. We are also joined by Eric Bafo and Phathisizwe Bheshenga – Coordinators of the Abalingani Gender Programme at the Olive Leaf Foundation. The Abalingani Gender Programme addresses the issues of poverty, HIV and violence from both a man and woman's perspective, empowering South African men and women to overcome their challenges and become powerful participants in their communities. This programme is committed to educating men and women across the country on gender issues and developing the roles which men play in society. If you want more information contact their offices on (021) 361 044 or send an email to eric.bafo@olf.org.za and for more information about the Support Group you can contact uBhuti Phumzile on 072 577 1989 or khululekamen@gmail.com
