This policy paper shows how ending rather than mitigating the dual blights of HIV and violence against women requires significant change in societies and societal institutions around the world. It also argues that changes must center on empowerment of women and girls, the transformation of social norms around what it means to be a man, an end to tacit and explicit acceptance of violence against women and a start to real accountability.
