Proteger a la infancia, los adolescentes y sus familias.
El VIH/SIDA está afectando de la manera más brutal a los niños y los jóvenes. Más de la mitad de las nuevas infecciones de VIH son en personas menores de 25 años. Millones están creciendo sin padres o viven en casas con algún miembro de la familia enfermo o muriendo, con poco o ningún acceso a la educación y a los servicios sanitarios, y sin una nutrición mínima. Para las niñas, esta situación es exacerbada por factores como el tráfico, la prostitución forzada, las violaciones, la circuncisión femenina y matrimonio temprano – todos ellos factores que aumentan exponencialmente el riesgo de infección de VIH de las niñas.
Se necesita una acción a gran escala para cerrar el abismo que existe entre lo que se ha hecho hasta ahora y lo que es imperativo para proteger a los niños y niñas afectados por el VIH/SIDA.
