Gender inequality is a major contributor to the global HIV epidemic and the HIV response has become a painful testimony of gender inequality in practice.
This two-pager addresses how gender norms limit women’s decision-making authority and control over their bodies, therefore diminishing their capacity to protect their sexual health and limiting their access to services and treatment and what Aidsfonds does to achieve gender equality in the world.

This is the second year that the Hands Off programme presents data on human rights violations perpetrated against sex workers in the past twelve months. A total of 2009 human rights violations were captured in Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe between December 2021 and November 2022.
Capturing evidence on human rights abuses is essential to protect the human rights of sex workers. It provides insight if rights are protected in practice and can inform policy change and reduce stigma and discrimination.
