World AIDS Day 2024
December 1st, was observed as World AIDS Day 2024 around the world. Together, we must confront the inequalities that hinder the journey toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals target of ending AIDS by 2030. This year’s theme, “Take the Rights Path: My Health, My Right!” is a rallying cry for accessible, rights-based healthcare that empowers those affected by HIV/AIDS to live vibrant and fulfilling lives.
A rights-based approach is not just a strategy; it is a commitment to uphold the dignity, health, and autonomy of every individual, especially those with vulnerabilities and are most at-risk. We must boldly tackle the stigma and discrimination that stand as formidable barriers to accessing prevention, treatment, and care.
