Worldwide there is evidence that women living with HIV experience more stigma and rights violations in health care settings than HIV-negative women. This puts women living with HIV at risk of dropping out of sexual and reproductive health (SRH)/HIV care services. Amongst severe violations are cases of coerced and forced sterilization. In Uganda, the PLHIV Stigma Index Survey Report indicates that 11% of the women were coerced into getting sterilized by health care professionals. Nevertheless, comprehensive information about these violations is still very scanty.
Good day!
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Nancy, a radio journalist working with a community/learning radio station in Kakamega, Western Kenya and I run a weekly radio programme on HIV and AIDS in conjuction with the AIDS CONTROL UNIT at my place of work; 103.9 MMUST FM.
I have read widely about your activities, and I am most interested to further know what you do, other activities that you undertake here in Kenya, and if there’s a way that your organization can incorporate radio journalists in your team to help spread your agenda. Especially those that produce programs in tandem with your agenda.
May I ask, do you have a network of journalists across the region that are able to help with your agenda? My interest lies with the possibility that I might be able to generate news stories from activities you undertake or positive broadcast programs to our listener-ship and much more.
Awaiting a positive response from you.
Kind Regards,
Nancy Imali
