Human Rights and HIV/AIDS: Now more than ever
This joint statement, endorsed by 650 organisations nationally and internationally from over 100 countries affirms that the full realizations of human rights should be at the center of the global struggle against HIV and AIDS.
Whether it is women and girls facing discrimination and gender based violence, limiting their access to information and services. Young people not being given proper access to HIV information and sexual education advice or criminalised groups such as sex-workers, drug-users and homosexual groups being persecuted. It is these obstacles that have to be challenged in order to really tackle the HIV epidemic which as a health issue has been neglected for far too long.
