Global Fund Publishes Piece On Women, Girls In Global Health

Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria: Confronting the Challenge: Women and Girls in Global Health

Gender inequalities, sexual violence, and discrimination fuel a devastating and disproportionate number of new HIV infections in women and adolescent girls, and increase their overall health risks. … In Women and Girls, and in other pieces in our Focus On series, we offer a summary of an issue critical to the mission of the Global Fund partnership, and how we are responding…” (11/12).
