The Communication Initiative
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.

Where are the human rights for pregnant women? - Report

0 comments
A joint research project examining women’s experiences of provider-initiated HIV testing during pregnancy was carried out by the AIDS Legal Network (ALN), Just Associates (JASS), and Justice and Women (JAW), three South African-based human rights organisations, in 2010. The study is based on narratives of women who have experienced HIV testing during pregnancy in KwaZulu Natal and the Western Cape between 2007 and 2009, and focuses on women’s experiences of consent, counselling, and confidentiality; the impact of their HIV status on their lives; and how women themselves would like to see HIV testing services in the future.
