IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Childhood lost to HIV/AIDS
UNICEF Photo Essay
In sub-Saharan Africa, AIDS has killed one or both
parents of more than 12 million children under 15 years.
This incalculable loss results in children assuming
adult responsibilities before their time, facing stigma,
gender discrimination, poverty and inadequate social
services. In Zimbabwe, an HIV-positive mother, the sole
supporter of her family, is comforted by a social
worker. |
