Tizita's Real Story
Nearly 60% of HIV+ individuals in Ethiopia are women. Gender bias and the biology of transmission make
women more vulnerable to infection. Poverty, lack of access to education, and violence against women
increase their risk. This film profiles the connection between gender and HIV/AIDS, as well as the work of
leaders in education and policy change to improve the status of women.
