HIV and Public Health Challenges in Delhi: Right in my backyard: Dharavi, a US $665 million industry (and Asia's biggest "slum")

HIV and Public Health Challenges in Delhi. Saturday, July 7, 2007. Right in my backyard: Dharavi, a US $665 million industry (and Asia's biggest "slum"). Two days ago, thanks to Sej's thorough research on Bombay last year, I went on a tour given by a company called Reality Tours and Travel. The tour was not of Colaba, or Haji Ali Pier, or the Gateway of India, but of Dharavi, the place famously known as Asia's biggest slum. While many people call Davindra's home a slum, it's really not (and he is quick t...

HIV and Public Health Challenges in Delhi: Today's headlines: How it is for the average poor female
http://farahindelhi.blogspot.com/2007/07/todays-headlines-how-it-is-for-average.html
HIV and Public Health Challenges in Delhi. Thursday, July 5, 2007. Today's headlines: How it is for the average poor female. I was bitterly surprised to read a quote by a famous Bollywood actor in the newspaper who claimed that the plethora of curvaceous female role models in the film industry is indicative of the improvement of women's status in Indian culture. Have they stepped out of their posh homes to see what the rest of India is like? 22-year old girl is harrassed for dowry and for bearing a femal...

Emma's India: Can the IT fix India's problems?
http://emmasindia.blogspot.com/2007/07/can-it-fix-indias-problems.html
Saturday, July 7, 2007. Can the IT fix India's problems? The villagers are not going back to the village, even if agriculture became mechanized, there still would not be enough jobs for them in the village. More of them will continue to migrate to the cities and India can no longer afford the unplanned chaos that occurs in its cities, not to mention the fact that migrant laborers contribute to the HIV/AIDS epidemic as we've previously discussed. PS Thank you Paul Lee for the book recommendation.

Emma's India: Some Musings on Water
http://emmasindia.blogspot.com/2007/07/some-musings-on-water.html
Monday, July 2, 2007. Some Musings on Water. July 2, 2007. I've been thinking about possible solutions to many of the public health problems that I witnessed in India. Foremost on my mind of course are poverty, overpopulation, water and sanitation, women's rights and of course the emerging epidemic of HIV/AIDS. These are major challenges and require multi-sectoral and creative solutions in a political atmosphere that is not always supportive of public health. Public Health Message on Water Use.

Emma's India: I miss India
http://emmasindia.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-miss-india.html
Sunday, July 15, 2007. I was watching a stupid commercial on TV the other day that was supposedly set in India and it played some Indian music, and I felt a pang in my heart. Could this be? I miss India, but when asked what do I miss I can't really pinpoint it. Do I miss the trash everywhere, the noise, the pollution, the lack of Starbucks? No I miss the spirit of it. I miss an intangible something that India left in me and I suppose that it leaves in everyone who ventures into her exotic wonder.

Emma's India: Elephants and Camels
http://emmasindia.blogspot.com/2007/06/elephants-and-camels.html
Tuesday, June 12, 2007. June 12, 2007. Last night Dr. Goyal and our coordinators took us to a resort which resembles an authentic Rajastani Village, which took us back hundreds of years in time, with traditional dancers who can bounce vases 5 feet tall on their heads while dancing (I'm sure either Sej or Farah must have pics so check out their blogs as well). So here's my own camel. I don't think we got a picture of me on the camel itself but I have ask the other girls. Love and miss you all. Sahara Mich...

Emma's India: HIV/AIDS and Empowerment of Women
http://emmasindia.blogspot.com/2007/07/hivaids-and-empowerment-of-women.html
Friday, July 27, 2007. HIV/AIDS and Empowerment of Women. Posted by Emma Wolfe. Combating HIV/AIDS in Bangladesh. Rainbow Nari O Shishu Kallyan Foundation. 24/3 M. C. Roy Lane. HIV/AIDS would turn into an epidemic in Bangladesh if drug users do not stop sharing needles. A 2002-2003 CARE study found that nearly 40% of Bangladesh drug users use dirty needles; 4% of those were HIV-positive, a figure more than double the 1.7% infection rate reported among drug users in a 2001 study.
