New HIV infection rates among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are staggeringly high in sub-Saharan Africa. Young women face significant barriers in accessing HIV services due to persistent unequal gender norms. This session focuses on the empowerment of AGYW to demand non-discriminatory HIV services and engaging women leaders to advocate for policy change which include the voices and needs of AGYW. UN Women and partners will share key strategies and lessons learned on how transforming gender inequalities in the HIV response can improve access to services and existing policies and programmes for AGYW.
