World AIDS Day

World AIDS Day, established by the United Nations in 1988, is observed annually on December 1st, marking the first-ever international day dedicated to global health. This day serves as a platform for raising awareness about HIV/AIDS, commemorating those who have lost their lives to the disease, and showing support and solidarity for people living with HIV/AIDS. Each year, UN agencies, governments, civil society organizations, and individuals worldwide come together to campaign around specific themes related to HIV/AIDS, promote prevention and treatment efforts, and advocate for the rights and dignity of those affected by the disease. World AIDS Day is an important opportunity to reaffirm the commitment to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic, addressing stigma and discrimination, and working towards achieving the goal of an AIDS-free generation.
