Moving beyond gender as usual : how the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the World Bank's Africa Multi-Country AIDS Program are addressing women's vulnerabilities in the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Mozambique, Uganda, and Zambia

Abstract

Serious attention to HIV/AIDS, and to the eventual success of global HIV/AIDS programs, requires a focus on gender inequality. To fight the epidemic successfully it is necessary to tackle the persistent challenges of gender-based violence, discrimination, and unequal access to resources. The analysis in this report focuses on how three large and influential donors—the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the World Bank’s Africa Multi-Country AIDS Program (the MAP)—address the risks, vulnerabilities, and consequences of the HIV/AIDS epidemic for women and girls.
