Stories of Courage: Women and Children Living with HIV

The sections of the online collection, "Stories of Courage", are radio broadcasts, published by Internews Network, containing stories and interviews focused on the impacts of living with HIV. The productions are part of the Local Voices project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which trains radio journalists, disc jockeys, and talk show hosts in how to report on HIV/AIDS accurately and effectively, in a way that reduces stigma and leads to a more supportive environment for prevention and treatment.

The broadcasts are provided as examples of the work of the Local Voices project and consist of five separate sections produced by radio journalists in Kenya, India, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. The stories themselves reflect the lives of children, adults, and care practitioners who have been affected by HIV. Additional information in the online sections contain the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) HIV/AIDS statistics about the respective countries and links to audio and written transcripts of the actual broadcasts.
