Abstract: |
This booklet is aimed at
employees of the UN system and their families. It is designed to provide
important information about HIV and AIDS and to make them aware of the
resources and services available. Many UN employees do not really know how
HIV is transmitted or prevented, or even if they themselves have been
infected with the virus. Many employees are also unfamiliar with the UN's
workplace policy on HIV and AIDS, which is aimed at eliminating the
HIV-related stigma and discrimination that are still all too common in
workplaces. This booklet attempts to answer questions that can make a
positive difference in the lives of employees and their families: how to
protect oneself and loved ones from HIV; how to talk about HIV and AIDS with
one's partner or children; why be tested; when living with HIV, where can one
turn, inside and outside the UN, for support and treatment; what can be done
to create a compassionate workplace for all, including colleagues living
with, and affected by, HIV. |

Abstract: |
Besides affecting
economic growth and social development of many Sub-Saharan African countries,
AIDS is also a workplace issue. It reduces the supply of skilled labour and
causes increased absenteeism and reduced productivity, adding to labour costs
for employers. This folder aimed at employers contains information sheets
that outline the key elements of an AIDS prevention policy. Contents:
preventive actions by businesses; key components of a workplace policy; ten steps
for the implementation of the workplace policy; key principles of the ILO
code of practice; actions by trade unions. |

Abstract: |
The objective of this
code of practice is to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, to mitigate its
impact in the world of work and to promote decent work in the face of this
epidemic. It is built on and around two pillars, namely the protection of
workers against discrimination, and prevention. It provides guidance to
policy-makers, organizations and social partners for forming effective and
appropriate workplace and national policy that respects the dignity of all
workers. It covers the key principles such as recognition of HIV/AIDS as a
workplace issue, the role of social dialogue, the gender dimension,
confidentiality, screening and testing, adapting jobs and workplaces to the
capacities of workers with HIV-related sickness. It addresses the specific
responsibilities of governments, workers' and employers' organizations and
includes measures for education, care and support, and training for all with
workplace responsibilities. |

Abstract: |
The overall objective of
the ILO's Programme on Crisis Response and Reconstruction is
to develop the ILO's coherent and rapid response to different crises, such as
natural disasters, armed conflicts, financial or economic downturns and
difficult political and social transitions, focusing on areas of ILO's
comparative advantage. This report on the HIV epidemic and other crises in
sub-Saharan Africa is one of the outputs of the programme's research work. It
has three objectives: understanding HIV as a developmental issue; analysing
interconnections between crises and the HIV epidemic; reviewing the
activities of the ILO Programme with a view of identifying the
processes whereby the HIV epidemic affects the work of the programme.
Contents: understanding the structural conditions; HIV risk, prevention and
mitigation in crisis-affected populations; integrating HIV/AIDS into the
ILO's crisis response programme. |
