HIV and Conflict: A Double Emergency

Attachments

This report examines the effects of HIV / AIDS on young people in conflict situations world-wide. Aiming to build effective child rights-based responses to HIV / AIDS in conflict-affected countries, it considers the combination of the two conditions, the role of war in spreading HIV as well as government obligations and international commitments.

Direct experience has been gathered from refugee crises in Angola, Burundi, Colombia, Liberia, Nepal, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Southern Sudan, Sri Lanka and Uganda.
