Shaping Our Lives: Learning to Live Safe and Healthy, free from HIV/Syphilis & other STIs

The booklet has been designed to facilitate the work of Midwives (ANMs), Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) and the Self-Help Groups (SHGs) members who are working as front-line workers in the area of reproductive health, nutrition, empowerment and poverty alleviation programmes.

Though the booklet takes inspiration from various existing IEC materials, yet it provides a new insight into how HIV and AIDS impact women and their conditions. Consultations with different programme managers and civil society groups have helped in transforming the technical know-how into a simple step-by-step guide. The use of easy to understand language, interspersed with illustrations, enhances acceptability of messages and their use among women in villages.
