This resolution recognizes the ongoing challenges of HIV/AIDS, particularly for women and girls, and outlines a comprehensive approach to addressing the epidemic. The resolution highlights critical statistics, such as over 1.2 million people living with HIV in the United States, with women comprising approximately 22% of those cases, and notes that women of color are disproportionately affected. It calls for recognizing progress in combating HIV/AIDS while recommitting to ending the epidemic domestically and globally. The resolution supports increased investment in prevention, care, and treatment services, with a specific focus on reducing HIV-related disparities and improving health outcomes for women and girls. It encourages youth-friendly, culturally responsive healthcare services, including access to prophylaxis and antiretroviral therapy, and promotes comprehensive sexual education. Additionally, the resolution supports diplomatic efforts to address violence against women, combat discrimination, and recognize the critical barriers that prevent adolescent girls from accessing sexual and reproductive health services. By highlighting the global impact of HIV/AIDS, with nearly 40 million people living with HIV worldwide and 53% being women and girls, the resolution seeks to raise awareness and drive action on National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on March 10, 2025.
