  • refrain from imposing any restrictions on good health practices that would adversely affect women’s health whilst being respectful of the individual woman’s religious beliefs.

Plan of Action

NFAs to contact and urge appropriate government levels to:

  • practice good health promotion in all health issues;
  • reinforce health promotion campaigns to deter pandemic disease, especially with regard to HIV/AIDS and venereal diseases;
  • grant free access to analysis for detecting HIV/AIDS infection;
  • promote access to medication for sick persons;
  • educate the population as to how infection is passed to lessen discrimination of people infected with HIV/AIDS and venereal diseases; and,
