Review of Women, Girls, and Gender Equality in National Strategic Plans on HIV/AIDS

From Talk to Action highlights that the majority (16 out of 20) of national strategic plans on HIV and AIDS across southern and eastern Africa fail to comprehensively address women, girls, and gender equality. Where national strategic plans on HIV and AIDS do address women and girls, it is in the context of the prevention of vertical transmission services and programs. The plans fail to identify and respond to the full needs of women and girls. This report identifies the current weaknesses in the plans in the hope that it will inform these discussions and national level policy responses.
