UNIFEM Web Portal on Gender and HIV/AIDS
The website of UNIFEM is a gateway to various background documents, reports and news on women and HIV/AIDS. UNIFEM has been actively involved in raising the visibility of the gender dimensions of the pandemic and will be supporting activities throughout the UN General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) and its follow-up.
189 countries signed the Declaration of Commitment acknowledging that "gender equality and the empowerment of women are fundamental elements in the reduction of the vulnerability of women and girls to HIV/AIDS."
