Title: HIV vulnerabilities of migrant women: from Asia to the Arab States.

Authors: UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
Publication Date: March 2009.
Publication URL Address: http://www2.undprcc.lk/resource_centre/pub_pdfs/P1105.pdf

Additional Info: UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) released report HIV vulnerabilities of migrant women: from Asia to the Arab States: shifting from silence, stigma and shame to safe mobility with dignity, equity and justice (full-text, 2.27 MB). The report is a result of a study that focused on the vulnerabilities of Asian women who migrate to work in the Arab States. The women migrants, who bring substantial economic benefits for both - countries of origin and host countries, become easy targets for violence and sexual exploitation. Lack of legal coverage and limited or no access to health and social services make these women especially vulnerable to HIV. The report provides methodology of the study, key findings and recommendations, as well as regional analysis, country reports on four countries of origin and three host countries.
