World AIDS Day 2021 -  1 December

Bold action needed to “End Inequalities. End AIDS. End pandemics”  

The Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) encourages “bold action” against inequalities to end AIDS on World AIDS Day–2021 

“Without bold action against inequalities, the world risks missing the target to end AIDS by 2030, alongside the objective of ending the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and spiralling social and economic crises.”  CCA General Secretary Dr Mathews George Chunakara observed, in a statement released on 1 December, World AIDS Day.

Dr Mathews George Chunakara also calls upon Asian churches to “walk hand-in-hand with all stakeholders and revive national and regional networks to commit in action, promote inclusive social and economic growth, and eliminate discriminatory laws, policies, and practices in order to ensure equal opportunities and reduce inequalities”.
