So pleased to meet with H.E. President @duma_boko 🇧🇼 yesterday. Truly humbling to hear him say that even in the current tight financial context, @UNAIDS must be maintained or enhanced because Botswana and other high burden countries need UNAIDS country level support.

And we must deliver for women and girls together.
OAFLAD's founding vision was Pan-African: African women coming together to solve African challenges.
In a divided world, solidarity remains one of our greatest strengths. May @OAFLAD carry the Pan-African vision forward for the next 25 years, speaking proudly and boldly for Africa's women and girls.

Today, that same courage is needed to defend the rights of women and girls.
The hardest battles are often about control over our own bodies, our choices and our futures. We must never stop speaking out against the norms, laws and practices that hold women back.

During her country visit, @anneshongwe and @ZhouKai_2000 met with @FirstLadyNam3 Ms. Monica Geingos and visited the #BeFree Youth Campus.
A powerful reminder: youth-centred, stigma-free services + stronger collaboration = closing the HIV prevention gap for young people.

Earlier this week, a UNAIDS delegation, comprising of Ms. Anne Muthoni Githuku-Shongwe, Dr Kai Zhou, Ms. Theopolina Kueyo and Ms. Agnes Utunga Phiri , visited the @BeFreeYouth campus to learn more about services available to young people.
The visit offered an opportunity to engage on community outreach, HIV prevention and care, sexual reproductive health services, and HPV vaccination, while exploring how #BeFree continues to provide accessible, youth-friendly support closer to young people.
Indeed
Strong partnerships remain central to sustaining Namibia’s HIV response!

@UNAIDS new report shows:
👍 10 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa have committed to increase their domestic funding for HIV.
👎 But prevention programmes still heavily rely on international funding.

UNAIDS latest data shows that women continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
We need urgent action to tackle gender inequalities in order to end AIDS.

Progress continued, but momentum slowed.
32.1 million people living with HIV were receiving treatment by the end of 2025. But annual growth was 2.7%, below the rate seen in previous years.
Global commitment is urgently needed to close these gaps.

My deep thanks to all Member States for their engagement in the High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS. I welcome the new Political Declaration adopted by most countries—it is our chance to build on 25 years of progress and show multilateralism can deliver.
A bold step forward towards the #SDGs target to end AIDS by 2030.

"To the younger version of me who was scared to walk into a room, we're still here, still fighting, and we walk in with our heads held high now.
We found family. We found community. We found love for others and for ourselves."

Why does the #HLM2026AIDS matter?
As Leandro puts it, it represents "hope, visibility and care for the present and the future."
Hear from community leaders, advocates and young people on why this moment matters and why we must stay #UnitedToEndAIDS.
