At the regional level, Asia-Pacific is the geographic scope for analyzing the situation of women and girls, and PoDS. Specific examples on GJSR in HIV, TB, and malaria, however, focused on selected partner-countries of APCASO in Southeast and South Asia where GJSR remains a major issue. These countries primarily include Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines, Sri, Lanka, Thailand, and Viet Nam. In the Pacific region, examples were gathered from high-burden Pacific Island Countries (PICs) — such as Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu — that are implementing HIV, TB, and malaria programmes with support from the Global Fund and the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Where data is available, other country examples related to good practices on gender justice and sexual rights implementation were also cited in the situational analysis report.
The report contains six sections based on thematic areas:
Section 1 provides the background with the context, objectives, and scope of the situational analysis.
Section 2 presents the methods which tackled data collection and analysis, and the conceptual framework as basis for data collection, analysis, conclusions, and way forward.
Section 3 is an overview of the HIV, TB, and malaria situation in Asia- Pacific to provide the epidemiologic context and implications to women and girls, and PoDS.
Section 4 provides insight into the landscape of gender justice and sexual rights in Asia-Pacific, including the status of implementing intersectionality in HIV, TB, and malaria programmes.
Section 5 discusses the analysis of key accomplishments, gaps, and challenges in the integration and promotion of gender justice and sexual rights in HIV, TB, and malaria.
Section 6 presents the conclusions and way forward.
