The Kenyan government said June 26 the rate of HIV and Aids infections had dropped 5.9 percent, but the disease still posed a major challenge in the country. The state-run National Aids Control Council (NACC) said the rate fell from 6.1 percent in 2004 to the current 5.9 percent of the country's nearly 35 million people. "Of notable significance is the decline in new infections from 85, 000 in 2004 to 60,000 in 2005 as well as the drop in HIV prevalence from 6.1 percent to 5.9 percent in the same period," said NACC chairperson Miriam Were.

Create awareness: End Violence against Girls and Women
In cooperation with HIDO, the designer Tomasz Ochotny designed this poster for RENOCP to END violence against girls and Women in Africa once and for all. The aim of this poster and this awareness campaign is for women to speak out and not to suffer in silence anymore. There are people out there who are willing to listen and to help you to get out of the situation you are in. Never think that you are alone or that nobody can help you.
Contact RENOCP for more information or let them help you dealing with your gender-based-violence issues.
