dc.description.abstract |
The aim of this research paper is to explore the dangers of involving children as family caregivers of palliative
care and home-based-care to advanced HIV/AIDS patients, while its objective is to discuss the dangers or
perfidiousness that minors especially the girl children face as they handle care giving of advanced HIV/AIDS
patients. The article has relied on eclectic data sources. The research has found minors disadvantaged by the
following: being engulfed by fear and denied rights through care giving; being emotionally and physiologically
overwhelmed; being oppressed and suppressed by caring duties; being at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS; and
having their education compromised by care giving. The paper recommends: (1) strengthening and emphasizing
on children’s rights; (2) maintaining gender balance in care giving; (3) implementation and domestication of the
United Nations conventions on the rights of children; (4) community awareness on equal gender co participation
in care giving; (5) and fostering realization that relying on child care giving is a negative score in fulfilling global
Millennium Development Goals. |
