Description
In the fight against AIDS, many experts in the field focus on treatment and prevention. But one issue less frequently in the headlines is that of women's rights.
Stephen Lewis, former UN special envoy to Africa for HIV/AIDS and current head of Aids-Free World, talks with host Peggy Wehmeyer about the importance of empowering women in efforts to combat the disease.
Encore presentation from December 6, 2008.
