UNICEF and the Ministry of Health in Kedah are working to ensure that women from lower income groups know how to protect themselves and their children from HIV and AIDS.They support a pilot program, through a local NGO, Prostanita, that brings women together to learn from other women about issues in their lives. Starting with lessons on cooking and craft-making, these classes then turn into group discussions and
question-and-answer sessions about HIV
