Analysis of Dual Family Treatment Process OVC North of Ivory Coast

This book analyzes some social factors that favor the production of differential treatment of OVC in their respective families. Specifically, it highlights the social resources that accompany and legitimize the dual treatment of OVC in families and the consequences it involved socially. Indeed, the results of the study showed that OVC as a whole are subject to a double social treatment, which sometimes makes their social and family integration difficult. In terms of methodology, this study is based on a qualitative approach with comprehensive goal focus on interviews, observations, focus groups and use of secondary data. This book is an opportunity to bring more serious concerns interventions for OVC. It comes to enrich the list of reflections on the issue of HIV/AIDS. Far from addressing all aspects related to the issue of OVC, but social factors identified by the study are barriers to the care for OVC, which, if reconsidered will help to a better care.
