Quotes

"We will not achieve progress against HIV until women gain control of their sexuality." — Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, director-general, WHO
"Faced with unwanted sex with a husband who has HIV, a woman with no financial independence has two choices. She can either leave and starve today, or choose to stay with a roof over her head, putting off death for a few more years." - Judy Thongori
"The toll on women and girls is beyond human imagining. The practice of ignoring gender analysis has turned out to be lethal. For the African continent it means economic and social survival. For the women and girls of Africa, it’s a matter of life and death." - Stephen Lewis
"Years from now people will ask about AIDS in Africa — as with the Holocaust or the Rwandan genocide — ‘How could the world have known — and failed to act?’" - Africa Action
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
’Young women, adolescent girls, are more subject to infection, sometimes at a rate of six times that of boys. That tells you a lot about the vulnerability of women.’ - Stephen Lewis
’ Unless there is recognition that women are most vulnerable... and you do something about social and cultural equality for women, you’re never going to defeat this pandemic.’ - Stephen Lewis
’if women’s sexuality in Africa wasn’t under assault, if women were able to say no, if women weren’t subject to predatory attacks by men, or predatory behaviour generally, then you would have a disease in Africa called AIDS. But you wouldn’t have a pandemic.’ - Stephen Lewis
