The initiative targets women NGOs, women religious leaders and faith-based organizations and media professionals in order to create a civic momentum towards committed action limiting women's increasing vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. In four sub- regional training sessions on "Women, HIV/AIDS and Human Rights" for Arab Women's NGOs, taking place from August to November 2007, female religious leaders will contribute to a debate on harmful traditional practices and their religious legitimacy, addressing the link between structural inequalities, violence, gender and increased HIV/AIDS vulnerability. This will result in action plans by and for religious leaders who will act as agents of cultural change, promoting gender equality through values, ethics and transformation of religious norms at the national and local level.
