From Moses Magadza in New York
NEW YORK, USA - UNAIDS Deputy Executive Director Ms Christine Stegling has urged global leaders to prioritise HIV prevention and treatment for women and girls in the face of shrinking resources.
She made the call at a high-level side event hosted by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) at the ongoing 69th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) here.
Speaking on the theme, “The Urgency of HIV Prevention and Treatment for Women and Girls: Resolution 60/2 in the Context of Shrinking Resources for the HIV Response”, Ms Stegling noted SADC’s leadership in championing the CSW Resolution 60/2 as a critical instrument for advancing gender equality and ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
