AIDS

-girls and women are 2 to 3 times more likely to get HIV than men
-There are 42 million people living with AIDS around the world
-Half of all those who are now age 15 in Zambia are expected to die of AIDS
-World wide only 5% of people who need AIDS drugs get them;only 1% of people in Africa get the drugs they need.
-When women and girls are considered to be less valuable than men and boys, they are less likely to get health care when they need it.
-Women without money often have to stay with men who abuse them and cheat on them and often they are not powerful enough to demand respect, safety and protection from their partners(which increases the spread to inocent women)

AIDS is affecting millions of people, for men it is bad, for women and children it is even worse, millions who did not make a bad choice. Either way we need to feel compasion when we hear their story beacause Christ also has compassion on them.
