dc.description.notesResults of a 5 year study in Uganda based on a community-based programming approach to preventing violence against women and HIV infection. SASA! refers to the four phases of programming (Start, Awareness, Support, Action). The assumption that to prevent violence against women and reduce risk behaviours around HIV infection the root cause of the problems, unequal gender power relations, must be transformed. SASA! is a community mobilisation intervention that seeks to change community attitudes norms and behaviours that result in gender inequality, violence and increased HIV vulnerability for women. The results from just 3 years of programming show a decrease in actual rates of violence and a change in social attitudes to women's right to say 'no'. Solidarity and support for women also increased. In addition, men's behaviour sexual behaviour also changed in the SASA! based communities. The scale of the change was greater than anticipated, and the SASA! program is now being replicated in 15 countries.en
