Children and AIDS: Sub-Saharan Africa de Margaret Lombe

Children and AIDS: Sub-Saharan Africa: Routledge Global Health Series

Editat de Margaret Lombe, Alex Ochumbo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 dec 2015
The disproportional loss of individuals to HIV/AIDS in their most productive years raises concerns over the welfare of surviving members of affected families and communities. One consequence of the rapid increase in adult mortality is the rise in the proportion of children who are orphaned. Sub-Saharan Africa, accounts for about 90 percent of these. Mainly due to the staggering toll of HIV/AIDS, research effort has focused on treatment and prevention. Children have received attention primarily in relation to 'mother to child transmission' and paediatric AIDS. These issues are important and compelling but fail to capture the whole story - the unprecedented surge in the number of children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. In this book we reflect on the plight of children classified as vulnerable, review interventions implemented to improve their welfare and grapple with the concept of vulnerability as it relates to human rights and the African child.

Recenzii

’...challenges our current understanding of vulnerable children in Africa, brings to the fore the need to fully engage such children in programs designed to improve their wellbeing, and challenges current policies and programming for these children. I find it thought provoking and clearly forward thinking as a tool to assist all those that care for vulnerable children.’ Godfrey Biemba, Boston University, USA and Country Director, Zambia Centre for Applied Health Research and Development, Zambia ’Although the incidence of AIDS cases across Africa has plateaued, the authors point out that the number of Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC) continues to grow by leaps and bounds...a rarely reported fact! These researchers give us a rich and important scholarly work. Importantly, they seek out the voices of OVCs, reporting detailed interview findings that help the reader grasp how these children experience both vast unmet needs and yet are incredibly hopeful and resilient as well. A masterful work!’ Vincent J. Lynch, Boston College School of Social Work, USA; Founder and Chair, The Annual National Conference on Social Work and HIV/AIDS (USA)
