Working together with global partners to HIV and AIDS

With 12 million young people living with HIV and AIDS and 6,000 more infected daily it is a priority issue if girls and young women are to lead healthy and empowered lives.

To achieve maximum impact and empower youth around the world to take action, WAGGGS partners with UN agencies and international NGOs. Our main global partners on this issue are:
