Abstract
The prestigious, influential, widely trusted and typically conservative international organization WHO appeared to have made a groundbreaking move in 1990 when it announced the need for women to be empowered in order to stop the spread of AIDS. An analysis of the WHO Global Program on Aids will indicate that the program was incapable of creating and launching a mechanism that would globally campaign for gender and sexual equality.
