Social Norms
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Forced Migration and Transmission of HIV and Other Sexually Transmitted Infections: Policy and Progr

0 comments
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS have become urgent concerns for populations affected by armed conflict and migration (both forced and voluntary). Poverty, powerlessness, and social instability affect the spread of STIs and HIV. These conditions are characteristic of the lives of most refugees and internally displaced persons.

This chapter briefly describes the history of reproductive health for refugees (used in this article to refer to both refugees and the internally displaced) and presents the available evidence on the effects of conflict on the spread of HIV. It then describes policy and programme responses recommended by multilateral, governmental, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
