africa: $100 Million hiv/aids relief not enough for women

The US Africa Famine Relief Act proposes an amount of $900 million for emergency relief in Africa, of which $100 million will be directed towards HIV/AIDS programs. But while $100 million is a step in the right direction to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic, it is not nearly enough to address the massive increase in the number of AIDS cases as well as the increase in women contracting the virus in Africa, points out the Feminist Majority Foundation.
