This paper, commissioned by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, sets out to explain the varied reasons why a significant majority of women in the Asia Pacific region are disproportionately at risk of infection. It also documents specific examples of discriminatory attitudes and actions against HIV-positive women in the region as a result of their HIV status, and concludes with recommendations of action by and for all levels of society to counteract these human rights violations.
