This training aims to impart practical knowledge and skills to health workers across Asia. Evidence indicates that substantially different HIV prevention challenges are posed by men who have sex only with other men, compared to men who have sex with men and women. These two groups are unlikely to respond to the same prevention messages and advice. This training module focuses specifically on reaching out to the female partners of MSM. As such, the module builds on the existing training package for health care providers developed by UNDP and the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2013. The UNDP/WHO regional training package, entitled “The Time Has Come”, aims to reduce stigma in health care settings and to enhance HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STI) and other sexual health services for MSM and transgender people in Asia and the Pacific.

AIDS is now the leading cause of death among adolescents (aged 10–19 years) in Africa, and it is the second most common cause of death among adolescents globally. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes a specific goal to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Within this goal it includes a specific target (3.3), which aims at ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to programme designers, implementers, policy and decision makers on how to meaningfully engage adolescents in the AIDS response and broader health programming, and to demonstrate why adolescents and youth are critical in efforts to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. It also highlights what steps should be taken to implement programmes and policies that improve adolescent health outcomes (including for HIV) at the national, regional and global levels.

This Regional Review provides a description and assessment of laws, policies and practices within the ASEAN region related to trafficking in persons (TIP) – with a particular focus on the identification, management and treatment of victims of trafficking in persons, especially women and children.
The purpose of the Regional Review is to assist ASEAN and its Member States in their efforts to improve national and regional responses to assisting victims of trafficking.
More immediately, the Regional Review is intended to provide ASEAN Member States (AMS) with information and insight that will support implementation of the ASEAN Convention against Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children (ACTIP) and its Plan of Action (APA), both adopted in late 2015.

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a fundamental violation of human rights. It is one of the worst manifestations of gender-based discrimination, disproportionately affecting girls and women. GBV is a global phenomenon that knows no geographical, cultural, social, economic, ethnic, or other boundaries. It occurs across all societies, and is a major obstacle to the achievement of gender equality.
The purpose of this review is to examine existing approaches in policy, programming and implementation responses to school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) in the Asia-Pacific region. It seeks to advance our knowledge and learning in this field, both in terms of what we know about the phenomenon and its impact on individuals, as well as how best to address it, including through education.
