Description

INTRODUCTION There has been a lot of research work done on women and HIV/AIDS at a global picture level. The United Nations Organization, and in more recent years, the UN has played a key role in conducting and publishing reports on HIV/AIDS. It is estimated that 28.1 million people are living with HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa (United Nations and WHO 2001, #18). In this region, Southern Africa is currently the worst hit with countries such as Botswana leading the prevalence rates in the world at nearly 40% (United Nations and WHO 2001; United Nations Development Programme 2000; United Nations Special Session on HIV/AIDS 2001; WHO and UNAIDS 2000; United Nations AIDS and WHO 2002). The majority of infected people in the region are women.
