Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision Communication [Video]

From the Communication for Change (C-Change) Project, this 10-minute, 3-episode video illustrates the critical role that women can play in supporting voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC), both for their partners and within their communities. A synopsis of the videos: "Three Kenyan youths - Oti, Achi, and Omosh - are watching a football match on TV at Oti's house during the 2009 World Cup. Omosh is Achi's boyfriend. He has been circumcised, unlike Oti. Their discussions about VMMC are integrated into their remarks on the football match, where Oti's team is not defending well. This brings up the topic of the need to defend against HIV infection through VMMC. Oti is not aware of the benefits of VMMC, which are explained by both Achi and Omosh. Though Oti has some concerns about potential pain and six weeks of abstinence, he makes the important decision to get circumcised."
