Expert Group Meeting

The equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men, including caregiving in the context of HIV/AIDS
Geneva, Switzerland
6 - 9 October 2008

In accordance with its multi-year programme of work for 2007-2009, the Commission on the Status of Women considered "Equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men, including caregiving in the context of HIV/AIDS" as its priority theme during its fifty-third session in 2009. In order to contribute to a further understanding of the issue and to assist the Commission in its deliberations, the United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women convened an Expert Group Meeting (EGM) on the topic. The EGM took place from 6 - 9 October 2008 in Geneva, Switzerland.

In preparation for the Expert Group Meeting, the Division has hosted an online discussion on the theme.
