| description | HIV/AIDS is a global crisis and it affects all strata of the society. In the National Strategic
Plan on HIV/AIDS (2006-2010), the government acknowledges the role of non-governmental
organisations and community-based organisations; particularly to reduce the spread of the
virus among hard-to-reach groups such as commercial sex workers, drug users and
homosexuals. This study gives an insight into the approaches used by three HIV/AIDS
community-based organisations in Penang to empower the PLWHAs. It aims to analyse the
strategies used by the community-based organisations to handle the psychosocial issues faced
by PLWHAs as well as factors that affect the empowerment of the PLWHAs. This is a
qualitative study that employs interviews, participant observation and involvement in
activities carried out by the community-based organisation. |
