1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Kenya Legal and Ethical Issues Network on HIV and AIDS (KELIN) is a national network, which was established to address and respond to Legal, Ethical and human rights issues relating to

health. It is one of the few organizations in Kenya and East Africa working in this area. KELIN seeks to fully participate in the processes of formulating and implementing global and regional

health policies and programs, in order to influence them to factor the relevant legal, human rights and ethical perspectives for better delivery of the programs.

The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) is a family of Christian communions and organizations in fellowship and witness. In keeping with their mission and objectives, NCCK

with support from the National AIDS Control Council through its TOWA project organized a two-day residential workshop for capacity building of its membership. KELIN facilitated

the training with a focus on Human Rights and Legal & Ethical issues in relation to HIV and AIDS. The 51 participants who attended the training comprised of NCCK staff, regional

representatives, faith-based NGOs and community health care workers.

The aim of the training, held at Jumuia Conference Centre, Limuru on 8th & 9th February 2001, was to strengthen the capacities of the participants in fulfilling their obligations towards

addressing issues relating to HIV within their various communities. The following were set out as the objectives of the training.

The objectives of the training were:

• Introduce/clarifybasichumanrightsconcepts;

• EnableanunderstandingofthelinkbetweenHumanRightsandHIV&AIDS;

• Understandandarticulategenderandgenderrelatedconcepts;

• UnderstandthelegalprovisionsinrelationtoHIV&AIDS;

• UnderstandtheroleoftheChurchintheprotectionandpromotionofhealthrights;

The training was facilitated by Mr. Allan Maleche (Coordinator), Ms. Melba Katindi (Advocacy & Training Officer) and Ms. Emma Day (Volunteer), from KELIN. During the workshop the

participants were trained on the following modules:

• IntroductiontoHumanRights;

• HIVandGenderRelatedRightsinthecontextofHIV;

• StigmaandDiscriminationinthecontextofHIV;

• Legal&EthicalissuesinthecontextofHIV&AIDS;

The workshop commenced on 8th February 2011 with introductory remarks from Ms. Imelda Namayi a Program Officer (Education, Family & Community health) NCCK. This was

followed by a 1-hour bible session. The participants then introduced themselves and noted down their expectations for the workshop, which were then read out before the sessions begun.

The participant’s expectations were as follows:

1 Is a term that is used in most jurisdictions to describe a legal assistant who supports lawyers in their legal work. In Kenya, Paralegal is a term loosely used for community members who have been legally empowered to be able to give

legal advice community education and encourage communities to resolve their own justice issues. Matters beyond their capacity ought to be referred to a qualified lawyer/advocate.

Mr. Allan Maleche then took the lead on the session where he introduced his team to the participants. He then explained the background of KELIN and gave a detailed explanation of the

organization’s work. He encouraged active participation during the sessions to ensure better comprehension of the topics.

Besides the facilitators’ power-point presentations, the approach of the training was both participatory and interactive; this included question & answer sessions, experience sharing, video

documentaries and interactive debates among the participants.

At the end of the training, the participants were each provided with a training manual prepared by KELIN and copies of all the relevant statutes for reference and guidance in their paralegal

work. The participants were assigned various case studies to take with them and work on at a regional level as this was felt would help assist them gauge their individual competency in

addressing various legal and ethical issues similar to those they are likely to encounter at community level.

It was impressive to observe that the attendance was gender balanced. We also noted that most of the participants were well versed on advocacy issues relating to HIV and its prevention, care

and management which made the discussions very detailed and informed. However, it was unanimously observed, both by the participants and the facilitators that the time allocated for the

training was not sufficient to adequately cover the modules and comprehensively discuss the issues on the ground.

THE MODULE:

It was designed to acquaint the participants with the general understanding of Human Rights, the principles relating to human rights and the international and national frameworks on

human rights. At the end of the module the participants were expected to be able to articulate the specific rights relating to HIV and AIDS and understand the Linkage between HIV and

AIDS, human rights and health. The session specifically discussed the following aspects of human rights: The meaning, characteristics, general principles, underlying principles, history,

international and regional human rights regime, human rights abuses and violations, how international human rights norms are created and International Instruments Relevant to HIV e.g.

ACHPR, CAT, CEDAW, CERD, CRC, CRDPWD, CRMW, GIPA, ICCPR, ICESCR, etc.

Participants’ examples of Human Rights

PLENARY:• Participants needed to know what to do in case a community member refuses to take their ARV drugs. Was this an offence?

The facilitator explained that this would depend on the circumstances.

It was explained to the participants that an adult of sound mind and understanding has the right to refuse treatment in accordance with the right to autonomy. This is the right every person

notendangeringthehealth/livesofotherpersonsasprovidedinthePublicHealthAct.Thatmeansifyoubegintoposeadangertopublichealthe.g.asisthecaseofsomeonewhohas

contracted Multi-Drug Resistant TB and does not adhere to treatment, then the Public Health Act makes provision for that person to be held in isolation in a medical facility until they stop

being infectious.

Therefore, if a person simply refuses treatment but does not do anything intentionally to aggravate the condition or endanger the Public, then they are acting within their rights. In the case of

children, involvement of the Children’s Department and NGOs working on children’s issues is vital especially in cases of difficult parents who decline to administer prescribed medication.

2 2 MODULE 2 - HIV AND GENDER RELATED RIGHTSThis module was designed to impart to the participants knowledge on gender and the gender related principles. It was also designed to visualise the feminisation of the HIV and AIDS

scourge in Kenya and the need for all intervention to address the gender aspects of the epidemic. The objective was to enable the participants understand and articulate gender and gender

related concepts, understand the factors relevant to the current huge gender disparity relating to HIV and AIDS and for them to be able to adopt strategies that fully address gender concerns

within their area of work. The presentation by Mr. Maleche addressed the increasing feminization of the HIV and AIDS epidemic due to the gender gap between men and women and

articulated gender and gender related concepts. This helped the participants appreciate the issues of access and control in relation to the gender roles and further how to address gender

discrimination to enhance community development.

PLENARY:• The participants discussed in detail the various gender disparities that contributed to women’s vulnerability to HIV, especially in the cultural setup. This included practices such as

wife inheritance, early childhood marriages, polygamy and patriarchy.

2 3 MODULE 3 - STIGMA & DISCRIMINATIONThis module was designed to impart to the participants knowledge on issues of stigma and discrimination in the context of HIV and AIDS. It is also designed to visualise the effect and

impact of stigma on HIV and AIDS treatment and prevention. The objective was for the participants to understand the meaning of the term stigma and the forms and types of stigma that

exist and to distinguish the term stigma from the term discrimination which are often misperceived to mean one and the same thing.

The participatory analysis of the case Midwa –v- Midwa Case No. 197/2000 [EALR] EA453 (CAK) followed by the presentation enabled the participants to visualize the effect and impact

of stigma and discrimination on persons living with HIV, on treatment and prevention. Finally the participants were enlightened on how to support PLHIV to cope with stigma and how to

11 BACK TO THE TOP

fight stigma both at an individual level and at community level. The participants then discussed the initiatives they could take to get the community involved.

PLENARY:• One of the participants shared a personal experience of being a Bishop who is openly and positively living with HIV. He recounted how he discovered his HIV status and that of

his wife, the negative reactions by the church membership, his banishment from the Church, his struggle to secure alternative employment and the impact of stigma on his life and that of his family. He shared how he finally was able to overcome stigma and live a healthy and productive life. He then explained the controversial work he was now undertaking as a Bishop to educate the public about the HIV Virus, its prevention and management.

• The participants admitted that acceptance of HIV related issues within the Church is a difficult task.

• The participants also noted the stigma associated with basic sex education, and effective condom use for safe sex.

Bishop James Okombo shares his experience on stigma and discrimination

2 4 MODULE 4 - LEGAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES IN THE CONTEXT OF HIV & AIDSThis session basically encompassed the legal and ethical aspects of HIV and AIDS focusing on Informed Consent, Testing for HIV and the place of confidentiality of HIV results in various

fields of life such as medical practice, in the family, at the work place and within the community. There was extensive reference to the Midwa V Midwa Case No. 197/2000 [EALR] EA453

REPORT ON THE TRAINING WORKSHOP FOR PARALEGALS, NCCK STAFF & PARTNER ORGANISATIONS

12 BACK TO THE TOP

(CAK) to illustrate various other legal and ethical issues raised by HIV and AIDS such as

• Should HIV be a pre-qualification for an application for divorce

• Property rights of PLHIV especially women and children

• Custody rights of women living with HIV over children of tender years

• Do PLHIV pose a great risk of infection (how is HIV transmitted)

• Criminalization of HIV (intentional infection)

• Disclosure

• Ignorance

The presenter also addressed legal issues raised by biomedical research, gender issues, and criminal law and the participants had numerous contributions to this session giving their personal

experiences.

PLENARY:• The participants were particularly interested in the ongoing research in the country on HIV prevention interventions. They raised concerns about the ethical standards applied

pointing out that most of the rural folk involved in this research had no comprehension of what they were enrolled in. They reported that any reference by them about the research was “at how delighted they were to be receiving regular payments!” clear indicating their misconceptions of participating in research

It was explained that these research projects were HIV preventive research Clinical Trials. They are testing Microbicides which are a new type of experimental product being tested to

determine the possibility of use by people to protect themselves against infection from HIV and possibly other STIs. Mostly discordant couples are enrolled in these experiments.

It was explained that the Guidelines on Ethical Conduct of Bio-medical Research on Human Subjects in Kenya demand the highest standards of ethics to be applied in research. Within the

research community, there are also established Community Advisory Boards whose obligation is to safeguard the rights of the community during the research process. If any unethical conduct

is reported the research can be stopped. The importance of informed consent of volunteers was also reiterated.

The participants were encouraged to document and report any cases of human rights violations in the context of biomedical research.

2 5 MODULE 5: LAWS RELATING TO HIV AND AIDSThe aim of this module was to introduce the participants to some of the legal provisions relating to HIV and familiarize them with the various institutions and procedures of enforcing the

rights of PLWH in cases of violation. The participants were taken through the different sources of Law in Kenya explaining the significance of each, the difference between Constitutional,

Criminal and Civil law and how each is enforced. During the presentations, the participants looked into the provisions for protection of women and children spelt out in The Constitution,

REPORT ON THE TRAINING WORKSHOP FOR PARALEGALS, NCCK STAFF & PARTNER ORGANISATIONS

13 BACK TO THE TOP

The Sexual Offences Act 2006 and The HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Act, 2006. Other relevant provisions of the Children’s Act, 2001 and The Succession Act were explained.

PLENARY:• The participants raised concern over the rate of violations involving property rights of bereaved women and children. They sought guidance on how they could assist.

The participants were provided with a detailed list of NGOs working on human rights issues and were encouraged to reach out to the relevant organizations for assistance on such matters.

• The controversial issue of compulsory pre-marital testing of HIV was discussed at length with majority of the participants admitting that it was ongoing in most Churches.

After a heated debate on its appropriateness, the legal provisions were explained to the participants. The participants were advised to encourage voluntary testing by couples through spiritual

counseling as opposed to compelling the same. It was however advised that HIV specific counseling ought to be referred to qualified health personnel.

• The myth surrounding spiritual healing was demystified.

It was firmly stated that, to date, there has been no proof of spiritual healing for HIV and there exists no cure for HIV. The participants felt that several con artists were maximizing on

people’s fears to extort money from PLWH in the promise of a miracle cure! The participants were relieved to learn about the existence of the Equity Tribunal and proposed a case be

instituted against such persons.

• The participants were finally encouraged to contact KELIN for any guidance, legal advice or legal representation in identified cases of violations of health and HIV related rights.

At the close of the training workshop, the participants were shown some video documentaries highlighting some projects which as paralegals they could consider replicating within their

communities for the protection of women’s property rights, monitoring of CDF funding within constituencies, etc. The facilitators made time to discuss with individual participants issues

that required further clarifications and cases cited by them in which assistance was needed.

The workshop came to a close on Wednesday 9th February 2011, at 1.45 PM.

3.0 TRAINING METHODOLOGY

The participants received maximum opportunity for learning through a participatory learning process including structured presentations, question & answer sessions, experience sharing,

video documentaries, healthy debates among the participants and case studies. The presentations were made through PowerPoint, flipcharts and handouts. For efficient delivery and to make

the presentations participatory, the consultants decided to assess and determine the level of understanding of the participants before anchoring the training on every module. This would

inform the content of each presentation.

For ease of reference during and after the sessions, each of the participants was provided with:

1) Training manual developed by KELIN containing all the presentations

2) A copy of the Part IV (Bill of Rights) of The Constitution

3) A copy of the Sexual Offences Act,2006

4) A copy of a simplified version of The HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Act, 2006

4.0 CHALLENGES

1. The two-days allocated for the training were not sufficient to adequately cover the modules and comprehensively discuss the issues on the ground. Bearing this in mind, the coverage of the modules was

rushed, limiting discussion and the case studies could not be discussed.

2. There is need to ensure that the timings for sessions are adhered by the participants to enablize maximum learning opportunities.

5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Most participants found the sessions to be useful to their training needs requested for more time for the training sessions and the cases studies, this should be taken into account in future trainings.

2. Considering that the issue of extortion by self-proclaimed religious leaders with the allegations of a miracle cure for HIV came up repeatedly, there is need for NCCK to consider forming alliances with

relevant stakeholders to correct this situation and seek for legal intervention where necessary.

3. There is need to consider similar training for senior religious officials as this will help ensure the buy of respect of human rights principles and concepts at a senior level.
