Using Rights and the Law to Reduce Women’s Vulnerability to HIV – Canadian HIV/AIDS Policy & Law Review 5(4), 2000

Cathi Albertyn’s paper, an edited and updated version of her presentation at « Putting Third First, » argues that both human rights and the law can play an important, if limited, role within a wider set of national and international strategies to reduce women’s vulnerability to HIV. It analyzes the nature of women’s vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, and highlights some of the issues and lessons in using rights and the law to advance gender equality and reduce women’s vulnerability to HIV/AIDS.
