Rights and Gender Background Paper
This Discussion paper was prepared for the round table on human rights,
gender and HIV/AIDS convened by UNDP, UNHCR, UNIFEM and the Global Coalition
on Women and AIDS during the 2005 UN General Assembly High Level Meeting
on HIV/AIDS. The Paper argues that if the dual and synergistic challenges
of gender equality and respect for human rights are not addressed, the
achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the targets of the
Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS will be jeopardized.

the reversal of the epidemic has an indisputable link with the conscious
efforts to respect the fundamental rights of PLWHA. It has also been convincingly
expressed in international treaties and commitments.
