   Saving Lives, Protecting Jobs - International HIV/AIDS Workplace Education Programme - SHARE: Strategic HIV/AIDS Responses by Enterprises

   01 May 2006

   The US Department of Labour joined forces with the ILO early on to back this initiative, supporting workplace education programmes through a project called the Strategic HIV/AIDS Responses by Enterprises (SHARE). Today this project supports work in 23 countries reaching about 300,000 workers in some 300 enterprises. This report tells the story of SHARE and brings you the experiences of some of the people directly affected. SHARE aims to: Reduce employment-related discrimination against persons living with HIV/AIDS; Reduce risk behaviours among workers; Facilitate access to treatment, care and support; Maintain employment of workers living with HIV/AIDS in the targeted enterprises.

2. The Workplace: Gateway to universal access

   01 April 2006

   The ILO combats HIV/ AIDS through a unique combination of standardsetting to establish a conducive legal-policy framework and practical action at the workplace – public and private, formal and informal. The workplace is one of the most important and effective points for tackling the HIV epidemic: working people gather there each day, and structures and facilities exist which can be used for prevention, care and support.

The Policy covers the following key areas of action: - prevention of HIV through workplace prevention, education and training programmes - reduction of vulnerability arising from unequal gender and staff/student (or learner) relationships - elimination of stigma and discrimination on the basis of real or perceived HIV status and adherence to the rights of infected or affected staff and students - care, treatment and support of staff and students who are infected and/or affected by HIV and AIDS - management and mitigation of the impact of HIV and AIDS in education institutions - safe, healthy and non-violent work and study environments.

    01 January 2006

    Comme le stipule cette résolution, ces initiatives ont pour objectif de mettre en oeuvre des plans d'action conjoints de lutte contre le VIH/sida sur les lieux de travail de huit pays africains : la Côte d'Ivoire, le Ghana, le Kenya, le Malawi, le Mali, la Tanzanie, l'Ouganda et la Zambie. De cette façon, les membres de l'OIE et de l’ORAF-CISL pourront unir leurs efforts pour mettre au point des stratégies et des programmes communs. Ce processus débute en Afrique, mais les enseignements tirés de ces programmes expérimentaux bénéficieront à l'ensemble des membres des deux organisations. Une réunion a été programmée pour les 30 et 31 mars afin que les parties se mettent d'accord sur les principaux éléments des plans nationaux et la stratégie de leur mise en oeuvre.

14. HIV/AIDS and work; global estimates, impact on children and youth, and response - 2006

    01 January 2006

    This ILO report presents updated estimates of the impact of the HIV epidemic on the world of work, the labour force and the working-age population in 60 countries in all regions. It also gives particular attention to the effects of the epidemic on employment growth, the persistence of child labour, the sexual exploitation of children and youth, and the need for youth to have access to decent work. In complement, the report examines a range of rights-based responses. For the first time, projections of mortality losses and the effects of illness on the labour force and the working-age population take account of increased future access to antiretroviral treatment, and show the benefits for the world of work.

15. Global reach: how trade unions are responding to AIDS

    01 January 2006

    The report is the result of an unprecedented joint campaign launched by global union federations in 2003 which aims to mobilize union members worldwide in the response to AIDS. This report provides an overview of how trade unions are responding to the challenges of AIDS. It presents 11 case studies from around the world which show the breadth of action by trade unions in responding to the HIV epidemic. The 11 case studies show how trade union members, many of whom are deeply affected by the epidemic, are mounting bold imaginative responses to HIV in the workplace: challenging stigma and discrimination, addressing the factors that increase vulnerability and risk, providing care and treatment, educating their members on prevention, and building worldwide coalitions that lobby governments for more robust commitments to responding effectively to the disease.
