World AIDS Day
This year’s World AIDS Day theme is “Equalize”. WHO is calling on global leaders and citizens to boldly recognize and address the inequalities which are holding back progress in ending AIDS; and equalize access to essential HIV services particularly for children and vulnerable groups. More information on our World AIDS Day campaign is available [here](https://worldhealthorganization.cmail19.com/t/d-l-zjldutk-iitylyihjr-o/).
Join WHO, UNAIDS and other International Organizations, Member States and communities working on AIDS in Geneva, for an afternoon of action and solidarity. We will hear from activists and global health leaders and take a photo of a “human red ribbon” at the Place des Nations, Geneva. Speakers and detailed event information can be found [here](https://worldhealthorganization.cmail19.com/t/d-l-zjldutk-iitylyihjr-b/).

Launch of the Global Report on Health Equity for Persons with Disabilities
More than 1 billion people worldwide experience disability, and this number is growing, driven by increased numbers of people with noncommunicable diseases, who are also living longer and ageing with limitations in functioning. Persons with disabilities face many health inequities when trying to access the health care they need and are more affected by health emergencies than the general population.
These inequities in health outcomes cannot only be explained by an underlying health condition or impairment but are driven by certain factors. They are linked to inequitable health service delivery models, inaccessible public health interventions, and little consideration given to persons with disabilities during health emergency planning.
