  • HIV & AIDS

Over 5 million South Africans are HIV+ and over 70% of HIV positive people, world-wide, are located in Southern Africa. Women and girls bear a particular burden when it comes to HIV – young women outnumber young men in infection rates, bear extra responsibilities when it comes to caring for the ill and there is a link between HIV and violence against women. The section of the website collects together information relating to women, gender and HIV.
