HIV-APCoP Summary of E-discussion on Linkages between Violence-Against-Women and HIV in Asia and the Pacific

August 6, 2015

The document presents a summary of the e-discussion on linkages between violence-against-women (VAW) and HIV, which took place from 25 November to 10 December 2012 on the Asia Pacific Community of Practice on HIV, Gender and Human Rights (HIV-APCoP) website, and coincided with the 16 Days of Activism on violence-against-women. The e-discussion was conducted to engage with the HIV-APCoP’s diverse membership of UN agencies, networks of people living with HIV, national and local governments, civil society organizations and academic and research institutions, to inform a Discussion Paper on HIV and violence-against-women that has been commissioned by the Asia-Pacific United Nations Interagency Task Team on Women, Girls, Gender Equality and HIV (IATT). Inputs were sought to identify members views on the linkages between violence-against-women and HIV in the Asia-Pacific region and practical ways of addressing the issue. Over 30 members contributed to an initial online survey and subsequent e-discussion. The full transcript of the e-discussion is available online.
