Missed Opportunities: Human rights and the politics of HIV/AIDS

Joanne Csete

Development, 2004, vol. 47, issue 2, 83-90

Abstract: There is a strong consensus internationally that human rights violations fuel the AIDS epidemic, but donors and governments of affected countries do little to address a wide range of AIDS-related rights abuses. Joanne Csete argues that political factors, including the rising power of religious fundamentalism, the influence of the US in AIDS assistance programmes, and male-dominated political power, create a conducive environment for these abuses and must be addressed in the fight against AIDS.
