We can't turn away when every minute, somewhere in the world, a person dies of AIDS-related causes.

Last wk I had the honour of helping open the #AIDS2024 Conference.

I highlighted 3 calls to actions for our world leaders.

"The persistent inequalities across gender, social, economic and cultural structures make African girls disproportionately vulnerable to HIV infection...it is a threat to the overall health of Africa." - @anneshongwe and @EvaKiwango

The #HIVresponse has been instrumental in helping to build more robust health systems around the world.

But a paradigm shift is needed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the response, a journey that demands transformative action starting today.

There is enough money to cover all development priorities, but we choose to invest in war.

The most courageous choose peace.

Leaders Need to Break the Chokehold of Debt and Austerity. Our Health Depends on it | Inter Press Service https://t.co/GqMwwDXk1r

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

Low- and middle-income countries are choking on debt. They are unable to deliver healthcare & quality education for their children.

In 2022, African countries paid on average over 3x more on debt service than they invested in health.

We need an urgent reset!

Famine – even in northern Gaza – could still be averted.

A humanitarian ceasefire is urgently needed.

Aid organizations must be allowed to reach civilians.

@WFP is stressing the need to act now to save lives. https://t.co/A8Pi33M9Ak

[Ben Phillips @benphillips76]

The Economist highlights that the world can end AIDS as a public health threat.
@PeterASands is absolutely right: Governments wanting to save money need to know this: fighting AIDS _slowly_ would be much more expensive than working to end it fast. https://t.co/tBCKNwFOCc

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

21 African countries are in debt distress or at high risk of it. Neither the old Paris Club nor the current G20 Common Framework are delivering what's desperately needed to relieve the countries from crushing debt & enable them to finance vital social services.Unconscionable!

[IMF @IMFNews]

Rising corporate profits were the largest contributor to Europe’s inflation over the past two years as companies increased prices by more than the spiking costs of imported energy. https://t.co/iEf6Emu0Rp

This was taken in 2016 in the Arctic Ocean. I was inspired by eight million voices from around the world calling for Arctic protection.
Today is Earth Day and there's still an urgent need of help to support the work in the environmental movement.

@NabsIMA Eid Mubarak dear friend!

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

Now debt has climbed back up the global policy agenda, we need a new approach that provides immediate debt relief to countries in need and that establishes a permanent mechanism for addressing sovereign debt distress - which is accessible to ALL countries.

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

Without an urgent shift to reprioritise HIV & health financing, the @UN Global Goal to #endAIDSby2030 will be unattainable.

The new @UNAIDS @economistimpact #TripleDividend report shld act as a catalyst for political decisions to ensure full HIV funding.

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

Countries shouldn't have to choose betwn saving lives, putting children in school, or providing social protection while repaying crushing debt. Full HIV funding will help Africa build more resilient healthcare systems & better prepare for future pandemics.

A financial system that facilitates an annual outflow of over $89 billion out of Africa through illicit financial flows is the number one development and security threat to the continent of Africa ~ Dr. @ndzana_olomo speaking on behalf of the @_AfricanUnion at #FfD2023 #F4Dev
