TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Bangkok 2004. Not as simple as ABC: making real progress on women's rights and AIDS JO - HIV AIDS policy Law review A1 - Csete, Joanne SP - 68 EP - 71 VL - 9 IS - 3 N2 - In a world where the subordination and abuse of women and girls is driving the HIV/AIDS epidemic, significant resources must be invested in programs that will offer women real protection against human rights abuses. This was a central theme of Joanne Csete's presentation at "Acting on rights: women, HIV/AIDS and the Barcelona Bill of Rights," a satellite meeting held on 11 July 2004 and organized by Health Canada. This article, which is based on the presentation, discusses the limitations of the ABC approach to HIV prevention; lists some of the contextual factors that feed the subordination of women; and describes some of the violations of women and girls linked to HIV/AIDS. The author calls for the establishment of large-scale, intersectoral programs addressing the structural factors that constrain the behavioural choices of women.
