10 REASONS

Why Human Rights Should Occupy The Center Of The Global AIDS Struggle

Universal access will never be achieved without human rights.

Gender inequality makes women more vulnerable to HIV, with women and girls now having the highest rates of infection in heavily affected countries.

The rights and needs of children and young people are largely ignored in the response to HIV, even though they are the hardest hit in many places.

The worst affected receive the least attention in national responses to HIV.

Effective HIV-prevention, treatment, and care programs are under attack.

AIDS activists risk their safety by demanding that governments provide greater access to HIV and AIDS services.

The protection of human rights is the way to protect the public’s health.

AIDS poses unique challenges and requires an exceptional response.

“Rights-based” responses to HIV are practical, and they work.

Despite much rhetoric, real action on hiv/aids and human rights remains lacking.
