尽管人们认识到有必要采取结构性艾滋病毒预防干预措施，重点是增强妇女的经济权能，以减少妇女的艾滋病毒风险，但很少有基于科学的方案将确保妇女的土地所有权作为减少艾滋病毒风险的主要或次要战略。目前的研究重点是社区主导的土地和财产权模式，该模式在肯尼亚西部的两个农村地区实施，那里的艾滋病毒流行率很高（24-30%），侵犯财产权的行为很常见。该方案旨在通过保护和加强妇女获得和拥有土地的机会，在社区一级减少妇女感染艾滋病毒的风险。通过对50名项目负责人和项目实施者的深入访谈，我们试图确定用于预防、调解和解决侵犯产权行为的策略。成果包括四项战略：（1）在个人和社区一级对妇女和男子进行基于权利的教育，（2）葬礼委员会进行干预，以防止掠夺财产和剥夺继承权，（3）对传统领袖和社区成员进行法律培训，对侵犯财产权的案件进行地方裁决，以及（4）在社区一级无法解决侵犯财产权的案件时，将其提交正式司法系统。研究参与者强调，地方调解案件的成功率高于妇女在正式法院系统的成功率，这突出表明社区一级解决侵犯财产权问题的重要性。目前的研究有助于研究人员了解预防和解决侵犯妇女财产权行为所需的步骤，以充实关于潜在的结构性艾滋病毒预防干预措施的文献。未来的研究应该严格测试产权计划作为一种结构性的艾滋病预防干预措施。
Despite the recognized need for structural-level HIV prevention interventions that focus on economic empowerment to reduce women’s HIV risks, few science-based programs have focused on securing women’s land ownership as a primary or secondary HIV risk reduction strategy. The current study focused on a community-led land and property rights model that was implemented in two rural areas of western Kenya where HIV prevalence was high (24–30%) and property rights violations were common. The program was designed to reduce women’s HIV risk at the community level by protecting and enhancing women’s access to and ownership of land. Through in-depth interviews with 50 program leaders and implementers of this program we sought to identify the strategies that were used to prevent, mediate, and resolve property rights violations. Results included four strategies: (1) rights-based education of both women and men individually and at the community level, (2) funeral committees that intervene to prevent property grabbing and disinheritance, (3) paralegal training of traditional leaders and community members and local adjudication of cases of property rights violations, and (4) referring property rights violations to the formal justice system when these are not resolved at the community level. Study participants underscored that local mediation of cases resulted in a higher success rate than women experienced in the formal court system, underscoring the importance of community-level solutions to property rights violations. The current study assists researchers in understanding the steps needed to prevent and resolve women’s property rights violations so as to bolster the literature on potential structural HIV prevention interventions. Future research should rigorously test property rights programs as a structural HIV prevention intervention.
