The toolkit is a collection of participatory educational exercises for educating
health care providers on the issues of stigma and gender-based violence. It was
developed for and with health care providers in Andhra Pradesh, India. The
modules use a learner-centred, participatory approach to training — one built
around discussion and small-group activities. The goal is to facilitate open
discussion on HIV stigma and gender violence, and on what health workers can do
to promote a change in attitude and practice. It includes modules with training
exercises that are meant to be used selectively, according to the trainer's
objectives and training group.
