Nicole Haberland has worked at the Population Council since 1996. She received her M.P.H. from Columbia University’s School of Public Health. She conducts intervention and policy research in the areas of adolescents, power in sexual relations, and sexuality and HIV education.
Current projects include the Rethinking Sexuality Education Project, which aims to place a more central emphasis on gender in sexuality and HIV education. The project is promoting dialogue, developing technical resources, and designing pilot interventions that will test a new approach. Together with six other NGOs, the project has produced It’s All One Curriculum: Guidelines and Activities for a Unified Approach to Sexuality, Gender, HIV, and Human Rights Education, a two-volume kit published in 2009. Haberland also is involved in studies related to the expansion of male circumcision services in Swaziland and Zambia. Her focus is on the potential effects of male circumcision on women’s ability to negotiate condom use.
Haberland is affiliated with the Population Council’s Poverty, Gender, and Youth program.Nicole Haberland

Rethinking Sexuality Education (more)
In diverse settings around the world, young people face the challenges of HIV, STIs, and unintended pregnancy. In response, many countries have mounted programs to educate adolescents about sex and sexual health. Evidence suggests that a key to enhancing program effect is to help young people reflect about gender norms that shape sexual behavior. The Rethinking Sexuality Education project conducts research and provides resources and technical assistance to support efforts to place gender and rights at the heart of sex and HIV education.
