We would like to share and celebrate another important milestone for the right to health: World AIDS Day. In many ways, the advocates who drove revolutionary progress against HIV/AIDS laid the groundwork for the #HealthForAll movement. They showed us that communities could be mobilized and sensitized; that new drugs and tools could be rolled out in all countries, not just rich ones; that a diagnosis need not mean a death sentence when the right services are in place; and above all, that smart, focused, dedicated advocacy can truly change the world.
#myrighttohealth campaign:
This year’s World AIDS Day campaign will focus on the right to health. In the lead-up to 1 December, the #myrighttohealth campaign will explore the challenges people around the world face in exercising their right to health.
This World AIDS Day, let’s celebrate the progress made against HIV/AIDS, take stock of the challenges ahead, and recommit to rise against the health inequities that hold people back. Progress is possible when citizens stand up for their rights and leaders act on their pledges.

At the start of this century, just under 700,000 people had access to life-saving treatment for HIV. Today, that number has risen to 21 million.
