| Culture, HIV and AIDS |
|
| UNESCO advocates for educational
programmes and projects that are culturally appropriate, gender
and age sensitive, grounded in human rights and directly involve
people living with HIV and AIDS. Culture
must be perceived as a valuable resource to be mobilized in
the various responses to HIV and AIDS and not as an obstacle. UNESCO
supports such socio-cultural approaches through research, capacity-building
and the development of a wide range of resources. |
