Description

Twenty-five years into the AIDS epidemic, the children in its path remain at grave risk. Over 2.3 million children under 15 years old are infected with HIV, 15.2 million children under 18 have lost one or both parents to AIDS, & millions more are vulnerable. The risks inherent in these statistics are many, as children affected by AIDS may experience poverty, homelessness, school dropout, discrimination, loss of life opportunity & early death. “Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS” was launched in Oct. 2005 with the goal of putting the ‘missing face’ of children at the center of the global HIV/AIDS agenda. This report takes stock of some of the most important actions & changes for children affected by HIV/AIDS that have taken place in the first year of this effort. Illus.
