Description:   Publications & Research

Women’s Triple Jeopardy

Women face a triple jeopardy as individuals, caretakers and mothers in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Panos has written a new Introduction to its 1990 publication, Triple Jeopardy, which explained the HIV epidemic from a woman's perspective. This Introduction finds that fourteen years on, women’s vulnerability is more widely acknowledged while their daily challenges remain the same.

Accessing Treatment

Panos provides an overview of its forthcoming report, 'Whose Voice is Heard?', which will analyse treatment roll-out in five countries. You can download and view the Panos Global AIDS Programme’s presentation from the Bangkok International AIDS Conference that outlines initial findings from the report.

Media Resources

Features toolkit

A guide to using a collection of past Panos Features exploring the gender dimension of HIV/AIDS. These features are free to reproduce and this toolkit provides ideas for further research and reporting on women & HIV/AIDS.

InterWorld Radio series

A set of ready-to-broadcast stories on Gender and HIV from local journalists in the South. Radio Features include a look at the Global Fund process in Malawi, a piece about living positively as a Muslim in Kenya, and Yuen Chan investigates TB and HIV/AIDS co-infections in China.

Factsheets on access to treatment issues with a focus on Haiti, Uganda and Zambia

Access to treatment in developing countries is high on the political agenda. Our media factsheets, describe the key actors involved in current treatment roll-out and the factors that determine whether treatment roll-out will be successful. They also provide a valuable list of interviewees for journalists.
