Women and HIV/AIDS: Confronting the Crisis

Attachments

Women and HIV/AIDS: Confronting the Crisis, a UNIFEM, UNFPA and UNAIDS collaboration, concludes that women are bearing the brunt of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and that strategies to reverse it cannot succeed unless women and girls are empowered to reclaim their rights. Gender inequality must be confronted to deal successfully with the AIDS pandemic.

The report is made up of eight chapters:

- Confronting the crisis
- Prevention
- Treatment
- Caregiving
- Education
- Violence
- Women's rights
- Charting the way forward
