State of the World Population 2012 Family planning is a human right. Still, 222 million women in developing countries do not have access to contraception and are at risk of unplanned pregnancy that can cause health complications and financial hardship. The State of the World Population 2012 explains why family planning is a right that reinforces other rights, such as the right to health or the right to education. The report further documents the economic and social benefits accrued to households, communities and countries when the right to family planning is exercised by women, men and young people.

HIV in Asia and the Pacific: Getting to Zero
P U B L I C H E A LT H/P O P U L AT I O N
While the region has seen impressive gains – including a 20% drop in new HIV infections since 2001 and a three-fold increase in access to antiretroviral therapy since 2006 – progress is threatened by an inadequate focus on key populations at higher risk of HIV infection and insufficient funding from both domestic and international sources. This report features the most up-to-date information on the regional epidemic and response, and aims to provide perspectives on the situation, opportunities and challenges currently at play – to build understanding, inform discussion and inspire ongoing commitment for actions that will halt HIV and get Asia and the Pacific “to Zero”.

HIV/AIDS and the Security Sector in Africa
HIV/AIDS
AND THE SECURITY SECTOR IN AFRICA
Throughout history, communicable diseases have weakened the capacity of State institutions to perform core security functions, which compelled many African countries to initiate policies aimed at addressing the impact of HIV/AIDS on the armed forces, police and prisons. These policies address: 1) the role of peacekeepers in the spread or control of HIV, 2) public health versus human rights dilemma, 3) the gender dimensions of HIV in the armed forces, and 4) the impact of HIV on the police and prisons. While this volume does not address all aspects of the impact of HIV/AIDS on the security sector, the contributors nonetheless highlight the potentials and limits of existing policies in Africa’s security sector.
