Trying to Survive in Times of Poverty and AIDS: Women and Multiple Partner Sex in Malawi


Overview

This book describes how poor women in Malawi endeavor to make a living by agreeing to have sex with men in bars, rest houses, workplaces, and communities. Paradoxically, their fight for survival exposes them to the deadly risk of contracting Aids. Peer education directed at prostitutes, which assumes mutual solidarity, does not fit these women because they compete for the same men and their money, and because the majority of women do not identify their sexual networking as prostitution. This work is also about structural violence and socioeconomic and gender inequalities.
