HIV and Life for Rural Women in South Africa (1/2)
【我的总结与翻译】
South Africa has the highest number of H.I.V. cases of any country in the world. An estimated 5.5 million people are infected with the virus that causes AIDS. 55% of them are women.
南非是世界上H.I.V.病例最多的国家。据估计有550万人感染了这种引发艾滋病的病毒,其中55%都是女性。
Last May, the cabinet of President (Thabo Mbeki) approved a five-year plan to guide efforts against AIDS in South Africa. For the plan to succeed, officials agreed that the nation had to deal with poverty, violence and discrimination facing women.
去年五月,Thabo Mbeki总统内阁推出了一个五年计划,以指导南非的防治爱滋病工作。为了该计划的成功,政府官员一致认为国家必须应对女性所面临的贫困、暴力以及歧视问题。
Now, a report from Amnesty International looks at the struggles of poor rural women living with H.I.V. in South Africa. The human rights group says the women face oppression and human rights abuses. And it says other women who feel socially and economically weak are at a higher risk of becoming infected with H.I.V.
目前,来自大赦国际的一份报告提到了有关南非穷困农村艾滋病病毒感染女性的艰难努力。该人权组织表示,妇女面临着虐待和人权的侮辱。并且还称,那些认为社会不牢固、经济疲软的其他妇女是感染H.I.V.病毒的高危人群。
