UNAIDS - September 23, 2008
The exhibition explores the synergies between the AIDS response and the MDGs. Success will be mutual: the achievement of the MDGs will boost the AIDS response and conversely the response to AIDS can significantly contribute to several of the development goals.
Improving maternal health and reducing child mortality require strong health systems and an integrated HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services. Safeguarding women's rights and increasing their economic independence reduce the vulnerability of women to HIV. In addition universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support is an important milestone for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
The exhibition is an initiative of the Inter-Agency Working Group on AIDS, which includes UNAIDS Secretariat and Cosponsors as well as UNIFEM, the UN Dept of Public Info (DPI) and the UN Dept of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO).
