“Gender-based violence is an egregious human rights violation. It is also a driver of the AIDS pandemic, especially in fragile states. Tackling gender-based violence is essential to uphold the right to health and life for everyone." - Winnie Byanyima unaids.org/en/resources/p…

📣Generic versions of HIV prevention drug lenacapavir could be made for just $40 a year, not the current $40,000 price. I urge Gilead Sciences: be transparent about your costs, and prioritise the communities whose lives can be transformed by this product! #GileadForGood
