Reducing vulnerability to HIV/AIDS
As the HIV/AIDS pandemic reaches massive proportions with little sign of abating, the need for a global response is vital.
The figures speak for themselves. HIV/AIDS will kill more people this decade than all the wars and disasters in the past 50 years. Since the AIDS epidemic began, 25 million people have died and more than 40 million are now living with HIV and AIDS.
A key reason for the spread of HIV/AIDS is the stigma attached to it. Individuals who have it, may not know or do not want to admit or talk about it, governments refuse to acknowledge its existence, cultural barriers and beliefs have made the topic taboo, and people living with AIDS are actively discriminated against.
The stigma of HIV/AIDS is seen as one of the most critical issues inhibiting changes in perception, attitudes and behaviour. The Red Cross Red Crescent Movement has an obligation to act, to speak out, to lobby for policy changes and to fight stigma and discrimination in all its forms at international, national and community levels.
