What you can do

Help bring about changes that make the AIDS response work better for for women and girls:

Alert your friends, family, community to the impact of HIV and AIDS on women and girls - and tell them about the solutions that work:
* Remove financial barriers that keep girls out of school
* Reduce violence against women
* Secure women's rights to own and inherit property
* Provide equal access to treatment, care and prevention
* Develop an effective microbicide (a gel, cream, sponge or suppository that women can use to protect themselves from HIV)

Call on leaders - politicians, religious leaders, corporate managers, community leaders - to get engaged in the fight against AIDS. Make a call, write a letter, or go to a meeting.

Give your time to an organization or programme that helps women and girls who are affected by HIV and AIDS.

Donate money to an organization that is working to reduce the impact of HIV and AIDS on girls and women.
