Country Action Plan forWomen,Girls and Gender Equality and HIV

" In order to ensure that our responses to HIV promote the health, human rights,
security and dignity of women and girls", "a social revolution for women and girls", with specific recommendations being to:
a)Take specific measures, from households to parliaments, to empower
women and girls by reversing harmful gender norms; ensuring that legal
frameworks provide equal rights and equal access to justice and
security for women and girls; protecting the rights of women and girls
living with HIV, including their sexual and reproductive health and
human rights; strengthening social protection, care and support
programmes for children affected by AIDS; and scaling up programmes to
eliminate gender-based violence as a cause and consequence of HIV, and
that also engage men and boys;
b)Ensure national responses meet the HIV-specific needs of women and
girls across the span of their lives and actively confront and
eradicate gender inequality-driven gaps in access to HIV-related
information, services and commodities, including for women and girls
affected by humanitarian situations; and
c)Support the Global Strategy for Women’s and Children’s Health and
the UNAIDS Agenda for Accelerated Country Action for Women, Girls,
Gender Equality and HIV, to deliver a comprehensive, integrated HIV,
TB and sexual and reproductive health package addressing the broader
health needs of women and children, including orphans, leveraging
services to prevent vertical HIV transmission as an entry point to
deliver a range of services to women, children and families.
