HIV Policy Lab Publishes New Analysis on Progress Towards the 10-10-10 Targets Ahead of the UN High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS 2021

Year
2021

The HIV Policy Lab – an online platform that gathers and monitors laws and policies adopted by countries around the world, documenting where key HIV science has been translated into policy –has developed a set of analyses to support advocacy around the UN High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS 2021 and 10-10-10 targets.

At the High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS (June 8-10, 2021), UN member states will recommit to the goal of ending AIDS by 2030. The Political Declaration is expected to recognise the central role that inequalities, stigma and discrimination, and violence play in fuelling the HIV pandemic and the necessity of reforming laws and policies that drive discrimination and undermine access to HIV prevention and treatment.

The Political Declaration follows on UNAIDS’ release of the Global AIDS Strategy 2021-2026: End Inequalities. End AIDS. At the core of the strategy, an ambitious new set of targets, the 10-10-10 targets, call on countries to repeal punitive laws/policies that target key populations and to implement supportive laws/policies that combat stigma, discrimination, and gender-based violence.

These targets will not be achieved without transparency, evidence, and accountability—transparency around the laws/policies that countries have in place, evidence to show why policy change is necessary and beneficial, and advocacy to hold governments accountable for acting on their commitments and achieving the 10-10-10 targets.

The HIV Policy Lab has developed a set of analyses to support advocacy around the High-Level Meeting and 10-10-10 targets.

These policy briefs highlight the progress countries have made towards adopting the laws/policies called for in the 10-10-10 targets, globally and in each UNAIDS region.
