1. SAfAIDS - African Regional Gender Mainstreaming Symposium

The Southern Africa HIV/AIDS Information Dissemination Service (SAfAIDS) is hosting a southern African Regional Gender Mainstreaming Symposium in Swaziland from 5 - 7 April 2005.

Under the theme, 'Has mainstreaming become an outlived paradigm: is it protecting women and girls in the era of HIV and AIDS?', participants will examine the relevance, effectiveness and efficacy surrounding existing regional mainstreaming strategies, to a gendered and human rights-based approach to HIV and AIDS policy, law and programming initiatives.

SAfAIDS is calling for experts and resource persons, who would be willing to facilitate sessions or present papers on various topics.
