The Law and Health Initiative (LAHI) is currently exploring opportunities to support work on women and HIV/AIDS. While the devastating effect of HIV/AIDS on women is widely acknowledged as a major global challenge, there is a lack of donor support for effective legal interventions to address human rights abuses that render women more susceptible to HIV/AIDS and impede the treatment of HIV positive women.

This project commenced with an information-gathering trip March 4–17, 2007, to Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, and Swaziland, to look at the current status of legal and human rights work on women and HIV/AIDS, effective projects, key networks and resources, gaps, and needs.
