3. Gender and HIV/AIDS Library

The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), with support from UNAIDS, has developed a Gender and HIV/AIDS Electronic Library to provide up-to-date information on the gender dimensions of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

The Electronic Library, presented on a CD-ROM, is based on UNIFEM's Gender and HIV/AIDS Web Portal www.genderandaids.org and contains resources produced by a variety of organisations working on HIV/AIDS, including cutting-edge research and studies, training resources and tools, and multimedia advocacy materials. All information can be easily searched and retrieved using a variety of criteria. The Library is intended to be a useful resource for academics, policymakers, practitioners, journalists, students and others interested in the gender dimensions of the epidemic.

The resources are complemented by the "e-Course Builder", a feature that allows users to create and edit a tailored electronic course or report in html format, drawing from the materials on the CD-ROM.

To obtain a copy of the Gender and HIV/AIDS Electronic Library, please contact UNIFEM by e-mail at In the meantime, regularly updated information and resources can be found at the UNIFEM Gender and HIV/AIDS Web Portal at www.genderandaids.org
