GNP+ has contributed to and endorsed ‘10 Reasons Why Criminalization of HIV Exposure or Transmission Harms Women’. This document, which is being launched on World AIDS Day 2009 highlights the ways in which criminalising HIV exposure or transmission exposes women to further dangers and violence rather than offer them protection from infection. Endorsed by 20 other organisations from around the world, the document calls for the protection and advancement of women’s rights for effective responses to HIV.
