Promoting Sexual Empowerment In Community-Based Programmes, Development, 52.1

Hesperian is developing an action resource (book- and web-based tool) that will complement its widely used Where Women Have No Doctor and help community activists work more effectively on all the topics in that book, published originally in 1997. One issue the international team developing the new resource has prioritized is how to help community activists foster sexual empowerment for women. Lucille C. Atkin et al. describe the approach to sexuality in the book Taking Action.
