Hear the Voices from the Learning Exchanges!
Oxfam partner organizations from Southern Africa are in Canada as part of an Oxfam project funded by Health Canada's HIV/AIDS Global Engagement Grants Program.
The exchange program involved visits to Halifax,
Toronto and Ottawa for the women to participate in a series of
awareness-raising and learning events.
A learning forum took place in Halifax

gender and HIV and AIDS and also involved a panelist from Healing our Nation.
