ABSTRACT
For the analysts and the activists concerned about the HIV epidemic in general, and about issues surrounding women and HIV in particular, there is much to learn from the population and development movement, both at the global and the local levels. In particular, a backwards glance at the history of discussion and action on population and development shows the critical importance of the initial act of naming a problem, of the adequacy of the analytical framework developed, and of the strategies drawn from it to implement it.
