Statement of concern on women & HIV/AIDS

The following ‘Statement of Concern on Women and HIV/AIDS’ was issued to coincide with the XIIIth International AIDS Conference held in Durban, South Africa, in July 2000. We are reprinting it here with the permission of Agenda, a feminist journal initially established in 1987 by a small group of students and academics from the University of Natal. Agenda is committed to providing a forum for women in the interests of transforming unequal gender relations in South Africa. Among its objectives are to question and challenge the understanding of gender relations and to contribute to women's capacity to organise, reflect on their experiences and write about them.
