Hitherto, the issue of HIV/ AIDS impact among women is particularly a continuing challenge. In recent times, women living with HIV/AIDS and their families are suffering shortage of living, abandonment and Isolation. Lack of appropriate sources of income and economic insecurity are the major issues to cause the women to encounter malnourishment, stigma, discrimination and violence which involve physical and psychological harm in their communities. In addition, the problem force most of the target women to find a way to earn income, often in commercial sex work, which again leads them to unsafe sex, higher risk of AIDS, starvation and marginalization Therefore, continued effort and investment by local development agents and their partners is believed necessary to contribute to the mitigation of the root cause and consequences of HIV/AIDS towards achieving the Millennium Development Goal of zero HIV transmission, zero Deaths to AIDS and zero stigma and Discrimination.
