Published purpose

The goal of this project is to improve women's access to legal, property and inheritance rights in order to reduce their vulnerabilities to HIV/AIDS. More specifically, it aims to ensure that women's rights are integrated into key policies, programs, and actions to address HIV/AIDS at the national and local levels within the HIV response through UNIFEM's civil society partners and networks. Activities may include: (1) transformation and implementation of existing legal frameworks; (2) increasing women’s access to legal support services and legal aid; and (3) monitoring and gathering information on experiences of women who face dispossession, economic insecurity, and discrimination in accessing property and inheritance.
