- **Event Description**: A conversation with UNAID Executive Director Winnie ByanyimaAbout this EventThe global fight against HIV/AIDS changed the world, not just by saving lives, but by advancing human rights. It taught us that we can’t meet public health goals without protecting marginalized and vulnerable people. In the case of HIV/AIDS, this meant reaching LGBTQ+ people, sex workers, and those least able to access treatment and therapeutics.The results were historic and arguably one of the greatest public health achievements in modern history. Hard-won gains built out a human rights infrastructure that served well into the future. It has not only guided many rights-based sexual and reproductive health initiatives today, but also informed efforts to stop Mpox, Ebola, and COVID, among other health threats.Despite these successes, recent shifts in the global financial and geopolitical landscapes are putting health and human rights gains at-risk. In this special event at Perry World House, Winnie Byanyima will unpack what needs to happen next to assure that countries have what they need to protect both human rights and healthcare. Drawing on her experience at the helm of UNAIDS, she will discuss how to leverage social justice for public health – and improve on the progress we’ve made.PanelistWinnie Byanyima is the Executive Director of UNAIDS and an Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations.
