the decision of the High Court, and emphasised that, “it is the responsibility of Government to budget for the fulfilment of its legal obligations. If the law [Prisons Act and Regulations] requires a service to be provided, then funds must be found to provide that service, or Parliament must be engaged to amend that law. Lack of funds will not in the normal course justify disobedience of the law.” Accordingly, the Ministry of Health has issued an internal directive ordering the provision of ARV treatment to non-citizen prisoners. BONELA has reported that since the judgement was delivered it has not received any complaints from noncitizen prisoners regarding denial of ARVs. While Botswana has scored a human rights success with regard to the provision of ARV treatment to non-citizen prisoners, due to financial constraints, the Prevention from Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) programme is not available to foreign pregnant women.

Government also conducted a national study on GBV (GBV Indicators Study, 2012) to establish the prevalence of violence against women. e. Botswana HIV AND AIDS stigma index study of 2013 These surveys and studies have generated useful information/data on attitudes, behaviours and practices and as such inform gender programming and critical interventions that address health issues as well as gender inequality.
