On the final day of #16DaysOfActivism and #HumanRightsDay, we 🤝@UNAIDS VN joined forces to combat gender-based violence and HIV discrimination, showcasing community resilience and explored many sustainable livelihood models of the HIV- infected and vulnerable groups 🧡
Visited a shelter for PWID organized by NGO Club Enei - communities have been key to supporting people who use drugs&maintaining #HIV services during the war. Their determination & resilience are inspiring! But they need additional support!

#Ukraine has developed one of the most advanced and successful harm reduction programmes in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Maintaining these life saving services is a key part of the humanitarian response. @UNAIDS@UNAIDS_EECA@Winnie_Byanyima
My first visit to #Ukraine starts from #Bucha and #Irpen. Deeply shocked and saddened by the massive ruins, devastation of social infrastructure, and senseless loss of lives. I echo SG @antonioguterres: “We know what we need to do: End the senseless, disastrous wars – now.”
Peace is essential for health.
I join with the @UN Secretary-General in calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of all Russian troops from #Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine has put young women and adolescents at high risk of sexual violence & human trafficking. Civil society and human rights groups are reporting heart-breaking atrocities. I echo SG @antonioguterres: those responsible must be held to account.
Le #ConseilDeParis a voté à l’unanimité la citoyenneté d’honneur à la ville de Kyiv.
Avec cette distinction, attribuée pour la première fois à une ville, Paris renouvelle son amitié et son soutien pour la capitale ukrainienne qui lutte actuellement pour sa liberté. 🇺🇦
Viva Yana for telling it how it is!
"I believe everyone is born free. But bad laws & social stigma put labels on us. I was branded as a person living with HIV. Society decided how it sees me, and if I will live or die." @YPanfilova at #HLM2021AIDS#HumanRights#StopStigma
Today I welcomed the city of #Dnipro to the @FastTrackCities network; as the third city in the Ukraine to sign Paris Declaration on #FastTrackCities, its success in accelerating its #HIV response has potential to accelerate end to national epidemic @UNAIDS https://t.co/vuUEbcniJR
@teenergizer is happy to welcome the new Executive Director of @unaids@Winnie_Byanyima. We had a great conversation and share some experiences and concrete recommendations for the way forward for #adolescent_girls and young women most affected by the HIV in #NairobiSummit+ICPD25
Tajikistan is the only country in CA that provided information on cervical cancer in women living with #HIV. In 2017, 47% of HIV+ women had serious oncological pathologies from among 1,160 HIV+ women screened for cervix and breast cancer. https://t.co/HBX04dXOON @UNAIDS_EECA
@IAPAC is hosting a #FastTrackCities reception in Amsterdam during #AIDS2018; the network’s 250+ cities have much to celebrate as they work to accelerate their local #AIDS responses to attain @UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets and even more ambitious goals - zero deaths, zero infections
Looking forward to opening of #EECAAC2018 in #Moscow tomorrow.
Unique opportunity to focus on growing #HIV epidemic in EECA region & need for strong political engagement to #EndAIDS
