Letting Them Fail: Government Neglect and the Right to Education for Children Affected by AIDS

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: Governments in sub-Saharan Africa have failed to address the extraordinary barriers to education faced by children who are orphaned or otherwise affected by HIV/AIDS. An estimated 43 million school-age children do not attend school in the region. HIV/AIDS has caused unprecedented rates of adult mortality, leaving millions of children without parental care to ensure their access to education.pdf: http://hrw.org/reports/2005/africa1005
