• UNAIDS calls for social transformation for women and girls, in particular those living with HIV.
• CSW, CPD, Rio+20 show that sexual and reproductive rights are key.
• Investment in leadership of (young) women living with HIV is critical.
• We need to better leverage synergies (HIV, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and vioelnce against women and girls).
