UNAIDS 2021 World AIDS Day report — Unequal, unprepared, under threat: why bold action against inequalities is needed to end AIDS, stop COVID-19 and prepare for future pandemics.
This UNAIDS report is a wake-up call on the AIDS emergency, and on the urgency of addressing our multiple pandemic challenges together. It highlights why we can’t afford not to end AIDS, and powerfully illustrates the need for leaders to take the courageous steps that will save
lives today and make us more prepared for pandemics of the future.
As the report notes, an effective package of measures needs to include community-led services, affordable access to cutting-edge medical technology, human rights, protections for health and essential workers, and data to reveal inequalities.
