Produced by the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) in collaboration with UNAIDS, this paper seeks to examine the link between HIV/AIDS and women’s property rights. The author asks if women’s lack of rights increases household poverty and women’s own vulnerability to infection; and if securing these rights can mitigate the impoverishing impact of the epidemic.
