Abstract
Using theoretical analysis and empirical findings from case studies in several African countries, the authors of this special issue adopt a feminist analysis of gender relations, HIV/AIDS, and human security in order to expand upon and deepen our understanding of health, development, and security, and how they affect individuals and society. HIV/AIDS can have a destabilizing effect on countries and communities, with consequences for levels of sexual and gender-based violence, poverty, health issues, food insecurity, and broader social, political, and economic challenges. The authors who have contributed to this collection of articles not only challenge us to think more critically and innovatively about the impact of HIV/AIDS as it pertains to gender inequality and human insecurity across Africa, but also they offer fresh insights for rethinking policy and programmatic efforts to address the crisis.
