In a world where the subordination and abuse of women and girls is driving the HIV/AIDS epidemic, significant resources must be invested in programs that will offer women real protection against human rights abuses. This was a central theme of Joanne Csete's presentation at "Acting on rights: women, HIV/AIDS and the Barcelona Bill of Rights," a satellite meeting held on 11 July 2004 and organized by Health Canada. This article, which is based on the presentation, discusses the limitations of the ABC approach to HIV prevention; lists some of the contextual factors that feed the subordination of women; and describes some of the violations of women and girls linked to HIV/AIDS. The author calls for the establishment of large-scale, intersectoral programs addressing the structural factors that constrain the behavioural choices of women.
在一个妇女和女童遭受的从属地位及虐待行为正在推动艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情蔓延的世界里,必须投入大量资源开展各项方案,为妇女提供切实保护,使其免受侵犯人权行为的侵害。这是乔安妮·切泰在2004年7月11日由加拿大卫生部组织召开的一次卫星会议“落实权利:妇女、艾滋病毒/艾滋病与《巴塞罗那权利法案》”上所做发言的核心主题。本文基于该发言,讨论了预防艾滋病毒的ABC方法的局限性;列举了一些导致妇女处于从属地位的背景因素;并描述了一些与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关的侵害妇女和女童的行为。作者呼吁制定大规模的跨部门方案,以解决那些限制妇女行为选择的结构性因素。
