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.
