Facing the future together: report of the Secretary-General's Task Force on Women, Girls and HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa


Six urgent interventions needed to stop HIV prevalence among women and girls

Produced by: UNAIDS; Global Coalition on Women and AIDS & UNAIDS (Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS) , 2004

This UNAIDS report, from the Secretary-General’s Task Force on Women, Girls and HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa, presents empirical data on the scale and character of the pandemic in nine countries in Southern Africa with the highest HIV prevalence rates. As the majority of young people aged 15-24 living with AIDS in these countries are women, the report calls for an end to gender inequality, which is key to the spread of HIV among women.
