The Vulnerability of Migrants to HIV/AIDS in China and Mongolia. Iredale R, Zheng Z and Ko SH (2007)

Countries of North East Asia have experienced an increase in the number of migrants in recent years, both internal and international. Flows across borders, especially from the North Korea to China and often ultimately to the South Korea, or other parts of Asia, and between China, Mongolia and Russia, have escalated markedly in the last decade. South Korea has become an important destination for many migrant workers, including commercial sex workers. Download this publication |

Female Migrants: Bridging the Gaps throughout the Life Cycle. UNFPA and IOM (2006)
|
Women make up nearly half of all migrants, an estimated 95 million of 191 million people living outside their countries of origin in 2005.1 Having said this, after many years of observing migration and collecting data there is remarkably little reliable information about women as migrants. This anomaly underlines their continuing invisibility to policymakers and development planners. The High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development by the General Assembly on 14-15 September 2006 offers the best opportunity in a generation to address the rights, needs, capabilities and contribution of women migrants.

This is the first round of the Integrated Bio-Behavioral Survey (IBBS) conducted among 360 migrant workers in five districts of Kaski, Palpa, Syangja, Kapilbastu and Gulmi in Western development region and another 360 migrants from Banke, Surkhet, Kailali, Kanchanpur, Doti, and Achham districts in Mid-Far Western regions. These districts were selected in consultation with FHI/Nepal and USAID/Nepal, as they have very high concentration of population who migrate for work to India. The IBBS was carried out during the months of March-June, 2006.

Transport Workers at Risk to HIV Documenting Our Experience 2000-2004. CARE (2006)
|
In 1995, CARE Bangladesh (CARE B) initiated an HIV/AIDS intervention program called Stopping HIV/ AIDS through Knowledge and Training Initiatives (SHAKTI), which was funded by the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID), to improve HIV and AIDS programming in Bangladesh. Although the project originally targeted rickshaw pullers, after several strategy meetings it was decided to begin the HIV/AIDS prevention program with female sex workers. SHAKTI eventually expanded to include some of their (female sex workers) clients as an intervention target group. The sex workers identified rickshaw pullers and truckers, along with dockworkers, as their main clients. This formed the beginning of the Rastta Bondor project. Download this publication |

Human Capacity-Building Plan for Scaling up HIV/AIDS Treatment. WHO (2005)
|
Globally, up to 100 000 people need to be trained for their contribution to achieving the 3 by 5 target– including those involved in managing and delivering antiretroviral treatment services, those working on testing and counselling and other entry points to antiretroviral treatment and the many community treatment supporters assisting people living with HIV/AIDS who are receiving medication. The challenge is enormous, and the impact of HIV/AIDS on the workforce is exacerbating the already diffi cult situation. Download this publication |
