Suffering in Silence: The links between human rights abuses and HIV transmission to girls in Zambia

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: HIV/AIDS affects girls in Zambia at a
much higher rate than boys. As this
report shows, sexual abuse and
other abuses faced by girls
contribute to this disparity. This
report underlines the urgent need
for protection of girls from human
rights abuses as a central part of the
fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa.
