Overarching themes
- Positioning all HIV and AIDS and SRH policies and programmes within a rights-based approach.
- Addressing stigma and discrimination both within and outside the health system.
- Broadening interventions to address power imbalances and the economic, legal, attitudinal, social and political empowerment of women. These include violence and discrimination against women; such as female genital mutilation, rape, and trafficking. Part of this approach includes increased inclusion of men in SRH and HIV and AIDS programmes.
- Maintaining a flexible approach which allows for targeted interventions and the provision of specialists and distinct services, particularly for marginalised and/or high-risk groups. These include men-who-have-sex-with-men, youth, mobile populations and sex workers.
