Women at Durban.
Globally, women and girls comprise the growing majority of people living with HIV. Reflecting this shift in the epidemic was an increased focus on women's issues at the 13th International Conference on AIDS. In all of its sessions, the conference grappled with many of the issues facing women and girls living with, and at risk for, HIV. Appropriately, many of the discussions focused on the the plight of women in sub-Saharan Africa and other resource-poor areas. Nearly all sessions highlighted the inequities in human rights, HIV care and resources between sexes, classes and nations.
