Health GAP is proud to be part of the first edition of The Alliance’s new biennial publication presenting the global state of the civil society response to AIDS.
In Russell’s chapter, she describes the untenable contradiction civil society is faced with: the possibility that communities can secure massive gains in saving lives and halting new HIV infections based on aggressive scale up of evidence based interventions and defense and promotion of human rights, while in reality budget cuts are leaving life saving programs running on empty.
Confronting this political doublespeak and winning the resources to seize this promise requires emboldened and dauntless activism, according to Russell. Read Health GAP’s prescription for action–and the roadmap for urgently needed progress–here.
