Joint Youth Statement for the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS 2026

Joint Youth Statement for the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS 2026

At a time when progress towards ending AIDS by 2030 is under threat, shrinking civic space, funding cuts, and growing challenges to human rights are putting young people and communities at risk of being left behind.

In response, Y+ Global, Youth RISE, and Youth LEAD have come together to develop a Joint Youth Statement ahead of the 2026 High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS. More than 50 youth-led/serving organisations and civil society organisations endorsed this statement, which presents six key priorities for governments and partners, informed by the experiences, realities, and aspirations of young people living with HIV and young key populations.
