Women'sNet Looking for S. African HIV/AIDS Initiatives Using ICTs (Feb 2 Deadline)

[Guest guest]

Dear All,Please pass this on to your networks:Women'sNet and Cell-Life are partners in a global study about how social networking* technology has changed and will change the way people communicate about issues and behaviours that impact on HIV vulnerability. We are examining initiatives in South Africa that use social networks - mobile or online- that deal in part or in whole, with HIV/AIDS. If you would like to tell us about your initiatives - and they need not be formal or large scale or even organizationally based- we would like to hear about them! Please send an email to Sally-Shackleton (sallys@...) by February 2nd 2009, to be included in the research. * we use social networking as shorthand for communications between groups of people mediated by digital technologies. This mediation often takes place in online social networking platforms such as /Facebook/, accessed via computers or, increasingly, mobile phones.
