Toolkit for Integrating LGBTI Issues into HIV and GBV Prevention

This toolkit, published by Southern Africa HIV and AIDS Information Dissemination Service (SAfAIDS), shares information, tools, activities, and skills building ideas to support organisations and individuals to better understand the needs of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) community. It was published to provide accurate and necessary information pertaining to African sexualities, human sexuality, and sexual minorities, and specifically addresses how sexual orientation and gender identity relates to and interconnects with HIV and gender-based violence.
The SAfAIDS LGBTI Toolkit includes a facilitator's handbook on integrating LGBTI issues into HIV and Gender Based Violence (GBV) prevention programmes, as well as information booklets related to LGBTI rights and protection as human rights. The materials are designed to build knowledge and skills around the rights and needs of LGBTI with specific reference to preventing both HIV and GBV, and reducing the risk of LGBTI people to both epidemics. They are also designed to be advocacy and support tools to build policy and programming for LGBTI communities within the HIV and GBV sector, at community, national, and regional levels.
