Essay on Women and Aids

A striking feature of the global AIDS epidemic is the increasing proportion of women and girls among people living with HIV. This is particularly evident in Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America.

In Sub-Sahara Africa and the Caribbean, this percentage has always been on the higher side, reaching 57 per cent in the year 2004 in Sub-Sahara Africa.

The most affected are those in the youngest age group (15-24 years). It has also been observed that globally AIDS is affecting women most severely in places where heterosexual sex is a dominant mode of transmission of HIV.

The reasons for the greater vulnerability of women and the greater risks they face of acquiring the HIV infection are multiple, biological, social, cultural, economic and therefore lead to complex problems with no easy solutions.

Pain of a Female

The female is a boon to society, who has the maximum heavenly power. She can bear every pain, she can tolerate every blame and she can keep a male in her womb for nine long months and then with an enormous pain give birth to that devil.

He who commits female-feticide, rape, honour killing, dowry death, dowry harassment and domestic-violence and also imposes several restrictions in order to restrict her from her freedom and development.

The pain of a woman begins before her birth and continues till her reincarnation. The fear of being killed in the womb stops the flow of blood and starts the flow of tears.

Many a times such attempts kill mothers as well. The male attempting such deed forgets that it is not because of the cells of a woman but it is because of his own cells that causes the birth of a girl.
