Women and girls are increasingly burdened by the HIV/AIDS crisis.  Social and biological factors make women far more vulnerable to the virus than men. In the hardest hit countries, 5-6 young women are infected for every one young man.

Join us in calling on President Bush to fight HIV/AIDS by ending violence against women, promoting gender equity, and ensuring universal access to prevention, treatment and support for women and girls living with or threatened by HIV/AIDS. Help us reach our goal of collecting 25,000 signatures by World AIDS Day on December 1st.

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

The HIV/AIDS crisis is one of the most serious issues facing the world today. Over 38 million people are living with this devastating virus and millions more will become infected this year.

Women and girls are increasingly bearing the brunt of this crisis due to social and biological factors that make women far more likely than men to become infected.

At the International AIDS Conference in Toronto in August experts agreed that the most effective way to fight AIDS is to empower women in countries around the world to protect themselves.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the AIDS virus and there is literally no time to waste! I urge you to fight this virus by doing everything in your power to end violence against women, promote gender equity, and provide universal access to prevention, treatment and support for women and girls living with or threatened by HIV/AIDS.

Thank you in advance for your leadership on this critically important issue.
