The last quarter of 2017 involved the sensitizing of the local populace in the Southern Province of Rwanda. Several of discriminatory tendencies on women affected or infected by HIV/AIDS. And these include the access of life-prolonging drugs in health centers
Women who have had several tides of challenges especially in the rural setting suffer stigmatization when it is discovered that they contract the disease. From being negated to house chores and odd daily jobs most are unaware of the rights especially on matters revolving around access to voluntary counseling and testing in a bid to reduce the prevalence of the scourge amongst the local populace.
Transmission of mother to child during child birth is one other issue communicated during the sensitization drives. To women in the southern province of Rwanda.
One positive outcome was also the participation of men from the community who pledged their support in raising the awareness of the women on the eradication of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
