UNAIDS launches 5-year action plan to address gender inequalities and human rights violations

Monday 8 March 2010

UNAIDS has developed an Agenda for Accelerated Country Action for Women, Girls, Gender Equality and HIV to address gender inequalities and human rights violations that are continuing to put women and girls at risk of HIV infection. The five-year action plan was launched during the 54th meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women currently being held in New York.

The action plan 'calls on the UN system to support governments, civil society and development partners in reinforcing country actions to put women and girls at the centre of the AIDS response, ensuring that their rights are protected.' (UNAIDS, Launch of action plan for women, girls and HIV at high-level panel during CSW at UN, New York, 3 March 2010)
