CONFERENCES |
RECABIP organizes Symposia and Conferences aimed at promoting dialogue on pertinent issues affecting communities in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Here are other Conferences taking place in 2008 and 2009.
Summary
Conflicts and emergency situations interrupt people’s lives and increase their vulnerability to HIV infection, and causing the deterioration of the circumstances of people living with HIV and AIDS. Furthermore, social and economic instability, poverty of girls, women and children combined with gender-based violence further complicate the living conditions for those caught in this highly disempowering environment.
