HIV and Life for Rural Women in South Africa (2/2)

Amnesty researcher Mary Rayner says rural women have little control in their relationships with men. Amnesty gathered statements from thirty-seven women in Mpumalanga and KwaZulu Natal provinces. They said that sometimes, when they tried to ask their sexual partners to use protection, they might experience verbal aggression or violence.

The report says many rural women with H.I.V. do not have enough money to travel to health centers for treatment. They might not even have enough money for food. Unemployment is a major problem.

Amnesty International released its report in London last week. Also in London, Scottish singer Annie Lennox promoted her new charity single called "Sing." The aim is to raise money for the Treatment Action Campaign, an H.I.V./AIDS organization in South Africa.

大赦国际的研究者玛丽•瑞娜表示乡村妇女在与男性的关系中几乎没有控制权。大赦国际收集了来自姆蓬马朗加省和夸祖鲁纳塔尔省的三十七位妇女的陈述。她们表示，有时当他们想尽力说服伴侣采取安全措施，可能得到的却是言语的侵犯或是暴力行为。

报告表示许多感染艾滋病毒的妇女没有足够的钱让自己到医疗中心接受治疗。她们甚至还没有足够的钱来买东西吃。失业是一大问题。

大赦国际上周在伦敦发布了这项报告。也是在伦敦，苏格兰歌手安妮•蓝妮克丝发表了他的最新慈善单曲“歌唱”。目的是为南非一艾滋病预防组织“开展治疗行动运动”募集资金。
