Global Coalition On Women And AIDS Leadership Council meets in Toronto to address alarming global increase of HIV virus among women. “In New York last week the High Level Meeting on AIDS produced a Declaration that acknowledged the urgent need to scale up towards the goal of universal access to HIV and AIDS services,” said Dr Peter Piot, Executive Director, United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS at a meeting of the Global Coalition on Women and AIDS (GCWA) Leadership Council in Toronto today. “The challenge now is to make sure that governments keep the promises they made last week, and take concrete action to ensure that universal access is truly universal – that it applies to women and men, girls and boys.”
