Galvanizing global ambition to end the AIDS epidemic after a decade of progress - Report of the Secretary-General
reliefweb "(...) There are many challenges, including stigma and discrimination faced by people living with HIV and harmful gender norms. Laws and policies in many countries prevent young people, women, key populations (people who inject drugs, sex workers, transgender people, prisoners, and gay men and other men who have sex with men), indigenous peoples, migrants and refugees from accessing health and HIV services. Funding for HIV responses in low- and middle-income countries globally has also been flat for most of the past five years.
However, there is a window of opportunity for more countries, across all regions and income levels, to get on track to meet the 2020 targets agreed by the General Assembly. The United Nations system, including the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), is enhancing its support to countries through the United Nations reform initiative."
