Regular initiative on HIV/AIDS |
World AIDS Day, 1st December
is an opportunity to harness the power of social change to put people first and close the access gap. Ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 is possible, but only by closing the gap between people who have access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services and people who are being left behind. Closing all people, everywhere, to access the services they need.

Regular initiative on water & Sanitation |
World Toilet Day
According
to UN report, 2.5 billion people in the world still do not have access to
proper sanitation, including toilets or latrines, with dramatic consequences on
human health, dignity and security, the environment, and social and economic
development. “Equality, Dignity and the Link Between Gender-Based Violence and
Sanitation” was the theme for the program, which seeks to put a spotlight on
the threat of sexual violence that women and girls face due to the loss of
privacy as well as the inequalities that are present in usability. Toilets
generally remain inadequate for populations with special needs, such as the
disabled and elderly, and women and girls requiring facilities to manage
menstrual hygiene. With the tagline “We Can’t Wait”, the Day is an
opportunity to inspire action and underscore the urgency needed to end open
defecation, especially for the women and girls who are particularly vulnerable.
