Product Description
Millions of children worldwide have been orphaned or made vulnerable by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, while there has been significant action in the last few years by governments, international organizations, religious bodies, and nongovernmental organizations, the vast majority of children made vulnerable by AIDS have not benefited from any assistance beyond their own extended family and community. This volume's insightful perspectives from experienced professionals address these children's needs in education, community mobilization and capacity building, economic strengthening at household and community levels, psychosocial support, and civil rights.
Book Description
This book, aimed at a broad range of professionals and institutions, brings together authoritative writing from Africa, Asia, and North America on the subject of children orphaned as a result of the AIDS epidemic. The book addresses what needs to be done in the areas of education, community mobilization, economic strengthening, psychosocial support, and the fulfillment of children's rights. It considers the powerful role that religious bodies play, describes ways in which strategic responses need to be developed, and identifies areas in which further research is needed.
