A 2010 Delegate’s Guide to Women and AIDS

This guide has been prepared by the ATHENA Network, the Global Coalition on Women and AIDS (GCWA), and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) in collaboration with the International AIDS Society, the Women’s Networking Zone Partnership, and Women ARISE.

It calls for special attention to be paid to advancing gender equality and human rights as well as to strengthening the leadership and meaningful participation of women and girls, particularly the most affected, in the global response to HIV.

Prepared as a guide for delegates to the ‘AIDS 2010: XVIII International AIDS Conference’ which takes place from 18-23 July, this resource will give you a good overview of the many complex issues that frame the contemporary HIV/AIDS debate. B.M.
