FGS Policy Brief launched during AIDS 2024 conference
The Time is NOW - Addressing the unmet needs of women and girls in Africa through FGS integration
Members of the FGS Integration Group [FIG] have attended the 25th International AIDS Conference in Munich, Germany. As the world’s largest conference on HIV and AIDS, it sits uniquely at the intersection of science, advocacy and human rights, bringing together scientists, policy makers, healthcare professionals, people living with HIV, funders, media and communities.
[FIG] partners met with representatives from the World Health Organzation (WHO), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (Bundesentwicklungsministerium BMZ), the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Merck Group, UNAIDS and the Ministries of Health of Malawi, Cote D'Ivoire, Kenya and Madagascar in a crucial side event at the International AIDS conference to discuss the integration of FGS with HIV & SRHR. At this side meeting FIG member organisations called for action on FGS to protect marginalised women and girls from serious SRH complications, HIV & cervical cancer.
