Activism attempts to make a positive impact in Botswana

Here is an encouraging narrative from Behind the Mask showing how three gay activists in Botswana are trying to put into practice what they have learned from their training in Sweden.

Two of the three participants from Botswana are working on changing their community using the Health Lens programme, while the third is practising awareness-raising.

Health Lens is an innovative program that provides services to primary care practices and gives independent physicians an opportunity to engage in meaningful change. It has been described as a movement of change, helping to reshape the role of primary care, and to sustain the cognitive art of medicine.

This is a very positive step in the dissemination of information to the grassroots regarding what activists are doing, one that should be the model all over Africa.
