Summary
This manual has been designed to guide trainers in conducting workshops for religious leaders and women leaders of faith on GBV and HIV. It was created specifically for heads of religious organizations, such as inter-religious councils and women's religious organizations. While this material was piloted with leaders, it can be adapted to meet the specific priorities and needs of participants, such as other organization members. The overall objective of the training is to raise awareness of religious leaders and women leaders of faith about GBV as it relates to HIV and motivate action planning to address the issues in their own organizations or communities.
