Abstract
This concept paper reviews a range of literature and explores demonstrated and potential connections between HIV/AIDS, legal rights and political participation of women and girls, and democratic governance in four Southern African countries, selected by the Commonwealth Secretariat - Botswana, Mozambique, Swaziland, and South Africa. The paper examines the nexus between achieving representative democracy and addressing the gendered differential impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Southern Africa, particularly on women and girls. Findings - from all four countries.
