The HIV peer education session ends and as workers file out of the factory they are met by the icy wind blowing over Kola Bay in Murmansk, the world's largest city north of the Arctic Circle. Aware of the potential impact of HIV, business and unions leaders have joined hands to meet the twin challenges of discrimination and risky behaviour that fuel the epidemic.
Four enterprises in this northern Russian port are now working with the ILO's Strategic HIV/AIDS Responses in Enterprises (SHARE) programme, which promotes policies ad programmes worldwide. A total of 650 workplaces in 24 countries stretching form Belize to China are now involved with SHARE, helping to inform protect almost a million working men and women from the risks of HIV.
This second report documents the fine work carried out by ministries of labour, employers' and workers' organizations and partner enterprises. It gives an insight into this ILO/USDOL partnership which has been running for five years. It includes a special focus on the experiences and achievements of the pioneer country projects in Belize, Benin, Cambodia, Ghana, Guyana, India and Togo. It also captures major innovations and collaborations from on-going initiatives in other countries which have been a source of inspiration to others and will help guide the SHARE programme to its conclusion in 2010.
