Summary:
|
On September 14, 2005, UNAIDS launched the inaugural issue of the UNAIDS-led Global Coalition on Women and AIDS briefing series, entitled "Educate girls, Fight AIDS," which outlines how ensuring access to basic education, especially for girls, is itself effective HIV prevention. The Global Coalition briefing series was launched with this issue by UNAIDS Executive Director Dr. Peter Piot at a meeting hosted by Mrs. Nane Annan and the First Ladies of Africa held in conjunction with the 2005 World Summit in New York. |

Description:
|
Over the coming months, this series will explore a range of key issues, including violence, access to AIDS treatment, and economic opportunities, and others, which particularly impact women and girls in the global fight against AIDS. Each installment will profile on-the-ground programs from around the world that are already making a difference in reducing women's vulnerability to HIV and in increasing their access to critical AIDS services -- and outline essential actions at all levels of leadership that must be take to help expand and replicate these important efforts. |
