SamenvattingFaith based organizations (FBO’s) have a unique possibility and responsibility to address one of the most important drivers of the AIDS pandemic, namely gender inequality. FBO’s provide, therefore, extensive existing community-based structures for responding to HIV. At the same time dealing with human sexuality and gender equality is a real challenge to most FBO’s. Gender inequalities drive the AIDS pandemic. Therefore, FBO’s should: take leadership in fighting the AIDS pandemic; take the issue of gender equality seriously and challenge norms of gender inequalities; promote evidence based prevention including condom use; promote basic sexual and reproductive health and rights; recognize that empowering women is essential to a holistic HIV and AIDS strategy; and recognize that involving men both as right holders and as important duty-bearers to change unequal relationships is crucial.
