Today is the world AIDS day. The world turn to forget about the importance of this day. When I say forget I mean it. They totally forgot about this day. The covid 19 is now the centre stage of everything at the moment. The funders of NPO and NGO they change their focus area from supporting NGO and NPO to other sectors.

 

Today we are fighting the batlel that we see no sign that we will win, the batle of inequality, which affects most of the household in our country and especially people living with HIV and AIDS.

 

GENEVA, 29 November 2021—UNAIDS issued a stark warning today that if leaders fail to tackle inequalities the world could face 7.7 million* AIDS-related deaths over the next 10 years. UNAIDS further warns that if the transformative measures needed to end AIDS are not taken, the world will also stay trapped in the COVID-19 crisis and remain dangerously unprepared for the pandemics to come.

“This is an urgent call to action,” said UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima. “Progress against the AIDS pandemic, which was already off track, is now under even greater strain as the COVID-19 crisis continues to rage, disrupting HIV prevention and treatment services, schooling, violence-prevention programmes and more. We cannot be forced to choose between ending the AIDS pandemic today and preparing for the pandemics of tomorrow. The only successful approach will achieve both. As of now, we are not on track to achieve either.”
