Recent warnings of increases in #HIV among migrants are worrisome.
Migrants and people living with HIV are already disproportionately vulnerable to criminalisation and deportation.
Health services fail when communities are pushed underground and excluded.

For too many migrants across the world, systemic gaps in "HIV care are a reality.
Denial of essential healthcare based on legal status is not simply a service failure; it is a human rights crisis that demands immediate, sustained advocacy.

Today, on the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, we honor the resilience, dignity, and humanity of all sex workers.
Sex workers around the world face daily discrimination, marginalisation, and violence – often with little protection or recourse.

Community organisations are losing staff, services, and space to operate.
At the same time, prosecutions and punitive laws are rising.
This is the disruption @UNAIDS warns about.

On #WorldAIDSDay, the message is simple:
Fund advocacy. End criminalisation. Defend community power.
@UNAIDS’ World AIDS Day report makes the situation clear: the global HIV response is entering its most dangerous period in two decades. A sudden collapse in donor funding has devastated services.

Funding cuts alone didn’t cause this crisis. Criminalisation, anti-rights movements, and attacks on civil society are accelerating it.
To save the HIV response, we must invest in the communities fighting back.
