Awareness raising in the Rural areas of Rwanda has been seen as an essential tool in combating the multiple discriminatory tendencies aimed against women with HIV/AIDS. The various misconceptions that exist amongst the public lead to the stigmatization and discrimination that are widespread in Rural Areas.
It is for this reason that Human Rights First Rwanda Association embarked on awareness drives targeting the rural area of Kamonyi District where local community members alongside their leaders were trained on non-discriminatory practices like inclusivity.
Positive results were yielded from the awareness drives like creating space for economic activities tailored for women with HIV/AIDS.
With the support of the local leaders and the community at large it can be said that policies and practices that are sensitive towards Women with HIV/AIDS in Kamonyi District will be streamlined and put into practice.
