Reports results of a study of human rights abuses of Zambian girls less than eighteen years of age, the majority orphaned by HIV/AIDS. It gives background information about the effects of HIV/AIDS on the continent of Africa, on women and girls more specifically, and in the country of Zambia. Describes the situation of orphans and vulnerable children, of traditional practices which can increase the risk of HIV infection, and of sexual abuses related to the risk of HIV transmission. Details the shortcomings of the current legal framework of both international and national law and describes the state and international responses and their inadequacies.
