All Women, All Rights: A 2008 Delegates' Guide to Women and AIDS

August 2008

More than 25 years into the AIDS epidemic, gender inequality remains one of the principal drivers behind the spread and impact of HIV. The XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City will bring to the fore issues pivotal to an effective response. The lessons and conclusions from diverse experiences across the globe will shed new knowledge on and, in some cases, solidify what we already know: women must be front and center in the AIDS response.

The following guide highlights conference sessions that either address women’s issues directly, or that are conducted or sponsored by organizations serving women’s interests. The guide was prepared by the ATHENA Network, the Global Coalition on Women and AIDS, the Public Health Watch project of the OSI Public Health Program, and the United Nations Development Fund for Women.
