This statement is on behalf of the Secretariat and the cosponsors of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). We appreciate the opportunity to discuss how action to address HIV, including through work responding to the Millennium Development Goals, has helped to ‘advance the goals of equality, development and peace for all women everywhere in the interest of all humanity’ as outlined in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and its reviews, and further elaborated in the 1994 ICPD and its subsequent reviews – as well as how this progress can be accelerated and scaled up before the end of the MDGs and in the era of the Sustainable Development Goals.
