In September of this year, UN member states passed a resolution to move
swiftly to create a new UN agency for women, a move, packaged with a
series of reforms on governance and funding, that they hope will result
in renewed public faith in the UN system. Julia Greenberg, AIDS-Free
World’s associate director, tells the inside story behind the sudden
groundswell in support for the new women’s agency and why the global
community of women living with, and affected by HIV/AIDS, should care.
