HIV/AIDS and Women: A Collection of Resources to Support Policy and Advocacy on HIV/AIDS 2008

Women, Ink., a programme of the International Women's Tribune Centre (IWTC), compiled a collection of materials entitled "HIV/AIDS and Women: Resources to Support Policy and Advocacy." Comprising some 50 action-oriented tools as well as analyses, reports, and case studies, this resource pack was assembled to support informed participation on issues of women and HIV/AIDS at the UN General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS 2008.

The directory of resources specifically addresses the needs of women. Included in this pack is a list of free resources culled from organisations working on gender and HIVAIDS, as well as selected relevant books available for purchase. It includes materials around the following topics:

• Advocating for a gender-based approach to HIV/AIDS;
• Protecting the rights of young women and girls;
• Promoting a gender-based approach to prevention and care;
• Guaranteeing sexual and reproductive health and rights for women;
• Supporting leadership among women living with HIV/AIDS;
• Eliminating violence against women; and
• Ensuring women's economic rights.
