#WorldAidsDay is a powerful reminder of our collective and steadfast action towards ending HIV/AIDS and saving our people. But that’s not all. It is also an emblem of our fundamental #RightToHealth. As I wind down the year and ease into the December break, I appreciate that we have come a long way with so many triumphs over the years in this battle of life and death. 🙏 I also remind myself that much work is still to be done to ensure we stay on track and continue to build resilience as we navigate further uncertainties and complications. 🔎 🧣 Health is not a privilege; it’s a human right sworn into constitution and adopted by our very own governments. 🧣 Prevention campaigns and treatment plans solve nothing if we cannot honour our rights to care. 🧣 Rights-related barriers to care must be addressed: Inequality, poverty, avoidance and non-acceptance behaviours. 🧣 If our funding pools are shrinking and our health burdens are increasing (both at rapid rates), something radical must be done to adapt to the situation. 🧣 Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights Education cannot dwindle, regress, or stop. Our future generation depends on the Alpha Generation to continue the education cycle – we cannot leave rights education behind. What is this radical change that needs to happen? Let’s start with re-engineering the playing field and building authentic symbiotic efforts which includes a commitment to rights. It’s time to turn #PolyCrisis into EQUAL #PolyOpportunity. 🤝 🎗️ I am convinced that #together, we are #better. 🎗️ #WorldAidsDay2024 #SDG3 #HealthRights #RightToCare #PublicHealth #GlobalPublicHealth #ITPC #EndAids #HealthFinancing #SRHR #SexualReproductiveHealthRights
