What can one person do?
By Fungai Machirori
What can an individual achieve in a life time?
The possibilities are almost infinite.
But what is possible for one person to achieve in a life time, especially in response to HIV? Often, we hide behind the collective “we” when we discuss issues around HIV and AIDS, speaking as groups and even communities about what “we” will do, and how “we” will respond.
Small house, big deal!
By Fungai Machirori
The name might not quite explain it.
After all, most things with the word ‘small’ in front of them aren’t often big issues. But when anyone, particularly women, hear the words, “small house”, they are often filled with some sort of negative emotion.
Some people laugh and make light of the matter as if it ought to be acknowledged as a normal part of every man’s life. Men have a need for sexual diversity, so the thinking goes. But I question what kind of a society we would like to build out of such a culture.
