Gender Issues Hamper Health, Development
Divisions over Gender Complicate Development Agenda. As the U.N. focuses on refining its Post-2015 Development Agenda, divisions surrounding issues of population and development continue to plague consensus on a universal way forward. “People have to be at the centre of development,” Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, executive director of the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA), told IPS. “I think we are beginning to see a greater commitment [of governments] to deliver on gender parity, girls rights, issues of gender-based violence and girls education.”
HIV/AIDS Highlights Gender Inequalities in Cuba. Nancy Mora, a member of the national coordinating team of the AIDS Prevention Group (GPSIDA), a national network of volunteer outreach workers, confirmed to IPS that the number of women living with HIV is on the rise in Cuba. There is concern that the epidemic will increasingly take on a female face, like it has in the rest of the Caribbean region, where women are 53 percent of the HIV-seropositive adult population.
