IPPI Oral Statement on
CEDAW

 “Recognizing the right of WLHIV it's not solely just
providing them with access to care and treatment. We
should respect their dignity and their right to have a
children as well as the other women. We still found many
cases which WLHIV became victim of violences. It is our
responsibility to address it because violence against
WLHIV and several forced sterilization cases we found
was not just VAW but it's a violence against humanity.
We urge all state members of UN to take an appropriate
commitment and action to eliminate violence against
women living with HIV.”
