UNIFEM is the wing for women's development fund at the United Nations. Established in 1976, it provides financial and technical assistance to innovative programmes and strategies aimed at fostering women's empowerment and gender equality. UNIFEM also helps make the voices of women heard at the United Nations, thereby highlighting critical issues and advocating for the implementation of existing commitments made to women.

UNIFEM assigned the task of developing an e-training module and resource repository on the issue of HIV/AIDS and Gender for master trainers. It consists of self-learning modules that can be modified and customised to prepare training modules for specific target audiences, self-assessment questionnaires, etc. The module has been made in Hindi and English.

The objective of the project was to provide a CD-ROM for HIV AIDS and Gender master trainers. The CD consists of a mass collection of content explaining HIV AIDS. Flash and Power point presentations have been designed to represent the effects of HIV AIDS in India. Statistics of various figures have been tabulated. The CD have been done in English and Hindi. 

The training content in the modules are based on Unifem’s core objective, i.e., promoting a rights-based approach to key gender related issues such as:
•	promoting gender equality;
•	ending violence against women;
•	reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS among women and girls;
•	addressing the unequal burden of care;
•	Reducing women’s poverty and exclusion. 

Other issues which are addressed are: human rights, role of men and boys in promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, drug abuse, sexuality, life skills, etc.
