Men and Care in the Context of HIV and AIDS

‘Men and Care in the Context of HIV and AIDS: Structure, Political Will and Greater Male Involvement’ is a paper which begins with an analysis of the structural forces that affect how AIDS care is provided. Produced by the United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women (2008), the paper argues that global economic policies, particularly structural adjustment policies, have led to the erosion of the public sector and the displacement of care into the household and onto women and girls. The authors show how the burden of AIDS care is also driven by a lack of political will and the failure of governments to invest sufficiently in AIDS care.
