This report is the result of a collaborative effort between members of the Asia Pacific Inter-Agency Task Team on Young Key Populations and UNICEF.

Women may make up half the world’s population, but they do not share it equally. This is especially evident when it comes to HIV.

Despite the many successes we have seen, women still face inequalities that will keep the AIDS response from reaching its full potential.
This study is a part of the operational research which includes mapping and size estimation of female drug users, which forms the first key step in developing targeted interventions for this highly vulnerable key population.
