UN Agency to Fight AIDS (UNAIDS) report, 67 percent of new cases of HIV and AIDS in developing countries exist at young ages (15-24 years). Of these, 64 percent are women and girls.

Ida Suselo Wulan, MM in a keynote speech read out to replace the Minister of Women Empowerment and Child Protection Linda Amalia Sari Gumelar here on Tuesday (18/01/2011).
The notion of society that HIV / AIDS is only experienced by women sex workers are untrue. That's because today women are not doing a lot of risky behavior with HIV infection from their permanent partner (husband).
"The vulnerability of women to HIV is caused more gender imbalance resulting in the inability of women to control the sexual behavior of husbands and lack of medical care of HIV / AIDS," said Ida.
Lack of understanding "the concept of gender" in the family makes the bargaining position of women is very low. Inequality of gender relations, both socially and economically, is the main driver of the spread of the HIV epidemic. That is, if gender equality happen, women could make their own decisions about sexuality activity.
"Gender equality in family and society to eliminate the vulnerability of women to HIV / AIDS," said Secretary of the National AIDS Commission Dr. Nafsiah Mboi, MPH, who is one of the speakers at the National Seminar on "Accelerating Achievement of Objective 6 MDG's to Realize Women & Children Free of HIV-AIDS ".
