International UNAIDS Action Framework: Addressing Women, Girls, Gender Equality and HIV

I am worth it
Globally, women comprise about half of the 33.2 million people living with HIV. Women, especially young women are particularly vulnerable to HIV due to biological factors, inadequate knowledge about HIV and AIDS, insufficient access to prevention services, a general lower status in society and a lack of female-initiated/controlled HIV-prevention methods.
