Policy Statement
EAC is committed to the achievement of zero new infections on HIV and AIDS and care for all the infected through addressing gender inequalities in access and control over basic healthcare services and facilities.
Rationale
Women and girls face disproportionate HIV/AIDS burden due to biological, social, and economic vulnerabilities. Gender-responsive approaches are essential for prevention and care.
Key Gaps Identified
- •Gender-based barriers to HIV testing and treatment
- •Insufficient support for caregivers
- •Limited resources for comprehensive prevention programs
- •Weak integration of HIV services with other health services
