Back in 2017 Ipsos, Population Services International, Matchboxology and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation embarked on an ambitious programme of work to understand the HIV-related needs of young men in South Africa. The project quickly arranged around three central ideas:
That men’s needs have at times been overlooked, but that understanding what they need is vital for controlling the HIV epidemic in the country
That men aren’t a single homogenous group, and their fears, needs and preferences vary widely, which should be taken into account in intervention design and service delivery
That services as they are currently set up may not be optimally responding to the needs of men

International Women’s Day unites Karachi for demanding equality for all
National
March 9, 2021
KARACHI: Victoria, an elderly woman with five children, four of whom are daughters and married, hails from Umer Brohi Goth near the Northern Bypass. Since her house is far from her employer’s and the public transport route does not include a convenient drop-off point for her, she is forced to live with her son and manages to visit home only on the weekends.
She works as a caretaker for elderly patients in different homes in Karachi. She wakes up at 3am, offers her prayers, has her breakfast and leaves for work as early as 5am, getting back by 9pm. “This is my daily routine. Only if the government provides a decent transport facility for women, I can go home daily,” she says politely.
