THE IMPACT OF HIV/AIDS
? ?? ? i. ..c.
One of the major barriers confronting
human development in Africa is the impact
of HIV/AIDS. Today, in xub-Saharan Africa
alone, an estimated 7.5 million adults are j
infected with the HIV virus, over 50 percent of
whom are women. Approximately one out of x
every three babies born to these women will be
born HIV positive; the majority of whom will
die of AIDS before their fifth birthday.
In developimg countries. HIV/AIDS is
spreading fastest among girls and young women,
and in several African countries, AIDS is over
taking measles and malaria as a leading killer
of children. In addition, there will be 10 mil
lion children orphaned or abandoned in Africa
by the end of the decade because of AIDS
vulnerable in their turn to HIV infection as they
take to life on the streets.
UNICEF is committed to fighting the fur
ther spread of HIV/AlpS in Africa with a
campaign based on awareness ami education
and through the provision of technical and
material assistance.
UNICEF has called for an end to the " apartheid of gender " ?
the discrimination and harmful traditions and practices expen
enced by the girl child.
