Dominican Republic: double abuse against women with AIDS

In the Dominican Republic women are subjected to tests of AIDS every day and if these are positive they are dismissed and discriminated.
Therefore a lot of women suffer from double discrimination, first, for being women and segond, because are people with AIDS.


In my opinion I don't understand how there may be countries which discriminate this way to women and only for having a disease. It would be just the opposite, they would help a lot to people who have AIDS. The inequality of persons still in Dominican Republic and the women are very discriminated.
Women with AIDS are not treated as people, they are treated worse than animals.

In conclusion, I hope that things will change because I don't like to see these injustices in the world, although I know that the world is full of injustices.
