Negotiation, gender and sexuality in the HIV / AIDS discourse in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Forfatter(e): Zenebe, Mulumbet

Mulumbet Zenebe sin doktoravhandling tar for seg AIDS-problematikken, og det faktum at AIDS er det største helseproblemet i Ethiopia. Zenebe hevder at programmer som arbeider for å spre opplysninger om HIV / AIDS, ikke oppnår forventede resultater, fordi hjelpearbeiderne ikke har kunnskap om de spesielle kjennetegnene innen det etiopiske folks kultur når det gjelder sex, maktstrukturer, historie og tradisjoner.

Omtale fra Universitetet i Tromsø:

The focus of the thesis is on how dominant medical ideas about prevention and treatment of the HIV/AIDS pandemic intersect with ideas emerging from local traditions, religious norms, as well as notions of sexuality and gender. The study shows that the dominant ‘scientific’ construction of the HIV / AIDS problem often is met with resistances by the women and men that are the target groups for the disease prevention programs. The thesis concludes that HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Ethiopia need to give attention to the phenomenon of sexuality, and the way it is shaped and constrained by factors including the complex and unequal relationships between men and women, rich and poor, and between North and South
