Today, we join the world in commemorating World AIDS Day under the theme:
"Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response."
This year’s theme reminds us of the urgent need to strengthen and adapt our HIV response in the face of ongoing social, economic, and health challenges, including gender-based violence (GBV).
As we also observe the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, it's important to recognize the intersection between GBV and HIV. Women and girls, especially in underserved communities, are more vulnerable to HIV due to violence, stigma, and unequal access to health services.
At Mufaro Association, we continue to raise awareness, empower communities, and advocate for integrated solutions that protect and uplift every woman, girl, and young person, online, offline, and in every space they exist.
Let’s unite efforts to end AIDS and gender-based violence. One world, one fight.
