Women and AIDS around the world
The United Nations recently reported that AIDS remains on the increase worldwide. The number of people living with AIDS is nearly 39.5 million. At the same time there are hopeful reports of the spread of AIDS being brought under control, for example in several East African countries. Still, AIDS impacts women more than any other group. There effort to fight for their own lives and dignity against this deadly disease can not be overlooked.
