One of the eight Millennium Development Goals set by governments in 2000 relates directly to HIV and AIDS. In 2001, at the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS, governments pledged to protect children affected by the disease.

Using Data to Guide HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care In East Asia and the Pacific. UNICEF (2005)
| Although overall adult HIV prevalence in Asia is low - 0.4 per cent compared to 7.4 per cent in Africa 1 - national prevalence varies widely. Within countries of the region, there are disturbingly high prevalence rates among some sub-populations and within various geographic areas. These locations and sub-populations are where concentrated epidemics build up, with substantially higher HIV prevalence than national prevalence levels can adequately capture. Table 1 provides a snapshot of national and sub-national HIV prevalence levels in selected countries. Download this publication |

Enhanced Protection for Children Affected by AIDS. UNICEF (2007)
| Enhanced Protection for Children Affected by AIDS A companion paper to The Framework for the Protection, Care and Support of Orphans and Vulnerable Children Living in a World with HIV and AIDS. All children have the right to protection. A child whose family is wealthy can still be raped or beaten. A girl in a loving family may still be married against her will where this is the social norm. But the risks for children increase when their families are poor, when children lack access to basic services or are stigmatized within their communities. Download this publication |
