Talk on Sensitization Campaign in preparation for the WORLD AIDS DAY 2025.

Theme :*Overcoming Disruption and Transforming AIDS Response*

*What is HIV/AIDS?*

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system, making it difficult to fight off infections and diseases. AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is the most advanced stage of HIV infection, where the immune system is severely weakened.

Disruption refers to the disturbance or interruption of a normal or expected process, system, or way of life. In the context of HIV/AIDS, disruption can mean:

- The impact of the disease on an individual's life, such as their health, relationships, education, or career
- The strain on healthcare systems, communities, and economies
- The stigma and discrimination faced by people living with HIV/AIDS
- The changes in social norms, behaviors, and cultural practices.

*The disruption caused by HIV/AIDS*

HIV/AIDS can disrupt our lives in many ways:

- It can affect our health and well-being
- It can impact our relationships with family and friends
- It can affect our education and future plans
- It can lead to stigma and discrimination

Today we joined voices with other organizations, for an advocacy walk and community sensitization in support of this year’s powerful theme: “United to End Digital Violence Against Women and Girls.”

As technology becomes a bigger part of our daily lives, so does the need to create safe digital spaces for women and girls. Online harassment, cyberstalking, misinformation, and digital exploitation are real forms of violence. Together, we can put an end to them.

Today, we walk, we speak, and we take action to:
. Raise awareness on digital safety
. Promote respect and accountability online
. Empower women and girls to claim their digital rights
. Advocate for stronger protections and responsible tech use

Let’s stand together, online and offline, to say NO to all forms of violence.

Let’s unite to build a world where women and girls can thrive safely and confidently, in every digital space.
