- Abstract
"The concerns of gender equity and equality, and women's empowerment are essential to the prevention of STI/HIV/AIDS transmission and to the protection of their reproductive rights. Cambodian people, especially women and girls, must be able to have a satisfying and safer sex life, dignity in the society, and full access to the health information, prevention, treatment, and care. This "Policy on women, the girl child and STI/HIV/AIDS", which aims at reducing the risks and impact faced by women and girls as well as the whole family related to STIs and HIV/AIDS epidemic, is a significant contribution to the promotion of the reproductive rights and represents a gender based response. It also includes a wide range of topics such as the findings of the situation analysis on women and girls regarding STI/HIV/AIDS in Cambodia and will help for a better understanding of their specific needs."
