of current and former Policy Makers to raise awareness and advocate to end HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis and other Infectious Diseases as public health threats by 2030.
Unite is a non-profit, non-partisan, global network of parliamentarians (current and former legislators) from State, National and Regional Parliaments fully committed to the elimination of HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis and other Infectious Diseases as public health threats by 2030.
These last decades have clearly shown how HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis and other Infectious Diseases directly impacts the lives of millions of people who live with these conditions and their families around the globe.
36.7 million people globally were living with HIV (end 2015)
Viral hepatitis responsible for an estimated 1.4 million deaths per year
Infectious diseases remain one of the leading causes of death worldwide.
These epidemics represent major international public health challenges, as they have significant burden on lives, communities and health systems. Moreover, these conditions are simultaneously promoters and consequences of inequalities, discrimination and social injustices. We finally have the scientific evidence and technological means to end HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis and other Infectious Diseases as public health threats. However, the political engagement and leadership is still lacking. As elected representatives of Citizens, we Parliamentarians must do more for the societies we live in.
It is our mission to UNITE political representatives from around the world to give a coordinated, effective, and strong impulse towards eliminating these global threats. This is our goal. To promote a unified global response against HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis and other Infectious Diseases as a priority that can no longer be delayed.
