“Due
to gender norms and inequalities, many women
and girls lack the social and economic power
to control key aspects of their lives, particularly
sexual matters. As a result, women are in
a difficult, and often impossible, situation
when it comes to negotiating with their partners
over abstinence, fidelity, or condom use.”
