HIV Vulnerabilities of Migrant Women: from Asia to the Arab States
|
March 2009, UNDP RCC
|
|
The unprecedented economic growth and social and economic
inequalities that Asia is experiencing combine to create complex
push and pull factors that have led to large movements of
people in the region. At any given point in time, there are an
estimated 54 million people on the move outside of their home
countries within Asia and beyond, and almost half that number,
are estimated to be women. Asia is one of the largest suppliers of
international migrant women who serve as domestic workers1.
Outside Asia, the countries of the Arab States region are the
primary destination for a majority of migrant workers from the
Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. |

HIV/AIDS and human trafficking threaten human security and human development.

It is estimated that 300,000 to 450,000 people are trafficked within Asia each year, of which more than half take place in South Asia. |

HIV-Related Stigma and Discrimination in Asia
|
2007
|
|
Although there have been many notable successes in both the prevention and treatment of HIV,stigma and discrimination have been intractable problems associated with the AIDS epidemic throughout the world. Stigma certainly has well-established individual consequences: it has been shown to delay HIV testing, restrict utilization of preventative programs, and hinder the
adoption of preventative behaviours like condom use and HIV status disclosure (Brooks et al.,2005). |
