SUMMARY:World AIDS Day
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nWorld AIDS Day takes place on 1 December each year. It’s an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness. Founded in 1988, World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy is World AIDS Day important\n\n\nCOVID-19 has demonstrated that, during a pandemic, no one is safe until everyone is safe. Leaving people behind is not an option if we are to succeed. Eliminating stigma and discrimination, putting people at the centre and grounding our responses in human rights and gender-responsive approaches are key to ending the colliding pandemics of HIV and COVID-19.\nIn a new report, Prevailing against pandemics by putting people at the centre, UNAIDS is calling on countries to make far greater investments in global pandemic responses and to adopt a new set of bold, ambitious but achievable HIV targets. If those targets are met, the world will be back on track to ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nHow to observe World AIDS Day\nToday is an opportunity to show solidarity with the millions of people living with HIV worldwide. Most people do this by wearing an HIV awareness red ribbon on the day. You can order a red ribbon through our online shop, or pick one up from selected branches of Morrisons for a suggested donation \n____________________________________________________\nTip:\n\nParticipate in this year’s World AIDS Day by shining a light on inequalities and doing your part in helping to address them.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n____________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\nStatistics \nSurgeon General on Ending the HIV Epidemic During COVID-19 \nSurgeon General on Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic: Resilience and Impact \nSurgeon General on Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic \n\n \nReference Sites\n\n\nUN and other international NGO\nNon-Profits website for the observance\n\n
