Intersection of land rights and spread of HIV- this far how far?

The Community land and property watchdog (CLPWDG) members in Kakamega and Kendubay are undertaking  a process of reviewing their impact over the last 5 years. The genesis of our organising for land issues under the GROOTS Kenya network that lead to the conception of the women and property program that anchors the CLPWDG model was our concerns around people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS losing their property. further more the victims in most cases were always women!

What is the relation between retaining your land and property rights vis a vis increase in chances of contracting  HIV because of your state of vulnerability when  you lose your land or sorry i mean when your land is grabbed?

Our colleagues in the movement are now working with partners in their regions to undertake this study, we await the analysis and conclusions from this study to further our work.in the meantime back to business lots to do, shambas to plough, cows to milk and people to share our knowledge with.
