Excerpts from Press Release:

Gender inequality, gender-based violence, sexual violence and other factors such as limited education and unequal land rights and economic choices, all increase women’s vulnerability to HIV. These factors also affect the experiences of HIV-positive women.

“The purpose of the study is to give voice to women living with HIV and to allow their stories and views to inform an improved HIV response where the dignity of each and every woman and man is respected and protected,” said PIAF (Pacific Islands AIDS Foundation) Chief Executive Officer Maire Bopp, during the launching in Nadi, Fiji.
