#inequalities, #poverty, #genderbasedviolence are huge drivers of #HIV infections in South Africa & the region. The #YWFL programme in 4 provinces of 🇿🇦 aims to uplift women with skills, dialogue, sisterhood to tackle these drivers! UNAIDS Global is proud to help fund impactful change!

Shout out to women past and present who continue to lead in the response to #HIV. As we celebrate #WomensDay2024 we salute those that challenged stigma&discrimination. We support the women who continue to fight for health rights & human rights 🙌

ANNOUNCEMENT: For the first time ever, the US CDC will allow for funding to pay for generic #PrEP as part of a supplemental opportunity to equitably scale-up #PrEP. This is a huge victory for advocacy orgs who have been fighting for a #NationalPrEPProgram. avac.org/wp-content/upl…

Thank you Fariba Soltani and Gunasekaran Rengaswamy for an excellent high-level meeting on Harm reduction programming in South Africa. We must expand comprehensive harm reduction services to realize the #righttohealth for all and #endAIDSby2030 Winnie Byanyima agshongwe

Thanks UN Women Goodwill Amb Jaha Dukureh for visiting and sharing on the extraordinary efforts that resulted in the victory protecting the anti #FGM law! Well done. As the UN, we stand with the govt & people of The #Gambia in protecting the girls & women from VAW Jaha Marie Dukureh

Some might like to walk away from the HIV response because the end is now in reach. But we cannot partly end a pandemic. Some are reluctant to provide the scale of resourcing needed. But, the costs of not ending AIDS would be exponentially higher. #GlobalAIDSUpdate2024

Humanitarians selflessly serve others to make the world a better place. They work for the survival, well-being, and dignity of people affected by crises everywhere. On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we thank our heroes for their sacrifices.

The normalization of attacks on those who risk everything to assist others is unconscionable. On #WorldHumanitarianDay, I stand in solidarity with colleagues, partners, and friends around the world, as we honor the memory of those we’ve lost and demand change. #ActForHumanity

I led United Nations in South Africa Country Team delegation to exchange perspectives and align interventions on development priorities with Minister Minister Maropene Ramokgopa & her DPME team. The United Nations family appreciates the engagement and collaboration with South African Government to leave no one behind.

We still have 1.3m new #HIV infections per year. At UNAIDS Global, we want this breakthrough prevention drug to reach all those who need it, now—not in 6 yrs! Gilead Sciences, move quickly to licence lenacapavir to generic producers. Generic producers bring price down and serve all

Reinforced collaboration to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights for all is crucial especially for the wellbeing of children, women & adolescents. A pleasure to engage with the visiting Regional Directors of UNAIDS Eastern & Southern Africa, UNFPA East and Southern Africa, UNICEF Africa, and WHO African Region.

We mourn the loss of Rebecca Cheptegei and remember Agnes Tirop whose talents were taken from the world at the hands of femicide. We stand united against violence towards women both in the sports industry and beyond #EndFemicide #TotalShutdownKE #StopKillingWomen #SayTheirNames
