Worker Education Materials (Fotonovelas) Fotonovelas are an excellent tool for modeling positive health choices. Dramatic, visual and culturally relevant, fotonovelas are a successful means of communicating health information and other social issues that are indirectly health related. Throughout the last 10 years, Farmworker Justice has partnered with the Rural Women’s Health Project, presenting workshops and developing community-based fotonovelas that support HIV prevention, model positive behaviors and present realistic situations. The following fotonovela materials are downloadable, or can be ordered in print format.

Voices of Immigrants In Action (VIA) Project with Rural Women's Health Farmworker Justice is a long-time collaborator with the Rural Women's Health Project (RWHP). RWHP has created a new HIV prevention toolkit for Hispanic Immigrants in rural areas and for policy-makers and providers committed to shifting existing policies to reduce the increase of HIV/AIDS. The VIA Tools are the result of a year-long, intense participatory research initiative in Tennessee and Florida. The 2010 VIA Community Survey and Community Exchange Sessions provide the basis for the following fact sheets and curriculum.
