Challenges • Interims of HIV we face double stigma and discrimination (eg; Violence in health care regarding coerced sterilization) • Interim being a women in patriarchal culture women and girls become vulnerable infected by HIV and victim of violence • Lack of opportunity to meaningful involvement
