E-discussion on key HIV affected women and girls in Asia and the Pacific
Wednesday 1 February 2012

Message from the guest moderator

Vince Crisostomo
Executive Director, Coalition of Asia Pacific Regional Networks on HIV/AIDS (7 Sisters), on behalf of Unzip the Lips

In 2011, through the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS: Intensifying our Efforts to Eliminate HIV/AIDS, governments reaffirmed that women remain disproportionately burdened and compromised by unequal legal, economic and social status. Gender equality, the empowerment of women and girls, elimination of gender-based abuse and violence, and access to health care services, including sexual and reproductive health, continue to be recognized as fundamental to reducing women and girls’ vulnerabilities to HIV.  These concerns were reflected in the 10 targets recorded in the 2011 Political Declaration highlighted below:

  • Target 1: Reduce sexual transmission of HIV by 50 percent by 2015

  • Target  2:  Reduce transmission of HIV among people who inject drugs by 50 percent by 2015

  • Target 3: Eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 2015 and substantially reducing AIDS-related maternal deaths

  • Target  4: Reach 15 million people living with HIV with lifesaving antiretroviral treatment by 2015

  • Target 5: Reduce tuberculosis death in people living with HIV by 50 percent by 2015
