Mothers and children are still the missing face of the global campaign against AIDS– this reminder was at the centre of discussions at a high level meeting that took place in New York.
Nearly 30 Heads of State and Governments came together to reflect on 10 years of commitments made towards eliminating HIV and AIDS
SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Asha-Rose Migiro, Deputy Secretary General, United Nations:
“The international community is coming together as never before to address the disease. Speaker after speaker agrees now is the time to end the transmission of HIV from mothers to babies.”
Today, though the story of how the AIDS epidemic is affecting children has been rewritten, millions of mothers and children are still falling through the gaps
SOUNDBITE (English) Paul Kagame, President, Rwanda:
“For too long the faces of the world’s children have been missing, their concerns in the context of HIV and AIDS have been overshadowed. It is not only appropriate but urgent infact that we refocus our attention on children.”
UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake called on the international community to redouble efforts aimed at reaching out to children affected by HIV
SOUNDBITE (English) Anthony Lake, Executive Director, UNICEF:
“And in all of these efforts, let me emphasize, we must target the most vulnerable children and mothers in the hardest to reach places. For life-saving treatments only save lives if they are affordable, if they are available and if they reach those in the greatest need.”
SOUNDBITE (English) Michel Sidibe, Executive Director, UNAIDS:
“For me, all children need to be a priority and not left to the lottery of geography.”
But the road ahead is tough and the numbers are still staggering. One in every 1,000 babies gets infected with HIV every single day.
Nabbumba Nuru, now a young leader in the fight against AIDS, was one of them.
SOUNDBITE (English) Nabbumba “Princess” Nuru, AIDS Activist:
“HIV and AIDS robbed me of my childhood and I stand here before all of you today as a young leader in the AIDS response to challenge you as established leaders to fully commit to virtual elimination of mother to child transmission.”
Accepting that challenge, leaders recognized that history would judge them harshly if they failed in achieving their goals and that it was up to them to turn the promises of an AIDS free generation into a reality.
