About Centre for Sexualities, AIDS and Gender

The Centre for Sexualities, AIDS and Gender (CSA&G) was established in 1999 as the Centre for the Study of AIDS (CSA). In its early years, the Centre was a standalone organisation that guided and shaped the University of Pretoria’s (UP) HIV response. The centre engaged with the communities from which staff and students are drawn, and implemented both service and research programmes. The CSA&G situate its work in both theory and practice. The Centre is now based within UP’s Faculty of Humanities, but works across all nine UP faculties and professional services. The CSA&G uses an intersectional approach to working with constituents around broader issues of human rights and social justice. In the context of its history and vision, the CSA&G explores the following themes: - Social and community justice; - Gender-based justice; - Institutional and social transformation; - Sexual and reproductive health and rights; - Sexual diversity and sexual citizenship; - The challenges and dynamics of gender, identity, race and class; - Personal and social leadership for active citizenship and political accountability; - Meaningful community engagement and the promotion of community wellness. The CSA&G mostly funds its own work and continues to collaborate and work with local and international governments, donors, development agencies and civil society – developing a reputation for innovative thinking and work that is strengthened by organisational integrity.
