KRAMATORSK, Ukraine — Zhanna*, 36, is an HIV-positive mother of two in the conflict-affected Donetsk Region of Ukraine. She says she contracted HIV from her former partner, a man who beat and raped her. Her candour about these issues is unusual; very few women are willing to speak out about experiencing violence or contracting HIV.

More than 30 years into the epidemic, we have moved beyond the early devastation wreaked by AIDS and scored many successes.
Over the past three years, the rate of new HIV infections has dropped by 13 per cent.

This document offers evidence-based guidelines on the planning, implementation, management and evaluation of youth peer education (YPE) programmes, and it provides suggestions on how to apply the guidelines.

Gender Responsive Budgeting and Women's Reproductive Rights

This resource pack provides relevant knowledge to facilitate mainstreaming gender-responsive approaches into reproductive health programmes, and the inclusion of specific aspects of gender inequality and disadvantage into national policy frameworks. It focuses primarily on health, particularly reproductive health; on HIV/AIDS; and on violence against women as it relates to health services. The publication was produced under a UNFPA/UNIFEM strategic partnership aimed at developing a coordinated approach for effective technical assistance to gender-responsive budgeting (GRB).
