Inmates and ex-inmates face serious health risks. CRROA works to raise awareness of communicable and non-communicable diseases, and to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and other infections among inmates, ex-inmates and the broader community.
Topics we cover
- HIV/AIDS and TB.
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
- Cervical and breast cancer.
- Mental health.
- Stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV.
Our track record
- 2012–2013 — with the Irish Embassy, educating inmates living with HIV/AIDS in correctional facilities.
- 2019 — with LENEPHWA, collecting data on inmates living with HIV/AIDS in all correctional facilities and tackling HIV-related stigma.
