UNAIDS Executive Director speeches
- "From AIDS to Sustainable Health: Our moment of courage and ambition" Report of the UNAIDS Executive Director at the 32nd Meeting of the Programme Coordinating Board, Geneva, 25 June 2013
- This PCB could not be more timely. We have less than 1000 days to report on our progress to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Today it is important for us to take the time to reflect and shape our future — to look at what could be the way forward, not just for the global AIDS response, but more generally for global health and development.
- The end of AIDS begins in the workplace
- This campaign, VCT@Work is not just an initiative that will bring VCT to 5 million people by 2015 and make testing tools available so that people know their status. It is about social justice. It is about redistributing opportunity. It is about refusing exclusion. It is about making sure that innovation, science and discovery are able to reach people without a voice.
- Speech by UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé on the occasion of the High-Level Segment of the 22nd Session of the UN Human Rights Council, Geneva, 28 February 2013
- It was people living with HIV, those affected, who turned everything around in this epidemic. They made the response to HIV and AIDS a responsibility for us all. They challenged us to recognize them as people with a human right to live in health – not as victims or criminals. Over the years, they have inspired and driven progress in the AIDS response. They have been true human rights defenders - fighting for their lives and for the lives of millions of others.
- Speech by UNAIDS Executive Director in Burkina Faso on the occasion of the Third Pan-African Youth Leadership Summit
- Ladies and gentlemen, dear participants: This Pan-African Youth Summit is extremely timely. It is being held at a critical period in the evolution of our societies, when the world starts to collectively reflect on the Post-2012 development agenda.
- "Unprecedented progress, but AIDS is not over: Maintaining commitment for the next 1000 days and opportunities for the Post-2015 era." UNAIDS Executive Director’s speech to the 31st Programme Coordinating Board
- Dear friends, we are seeing sustained progress. We are quickening the pace of action. But we must make no mistake—this epidemic is not over.
- UNAIDS Executive Director’s speech to launch US Blueprint for an AIDS-free generation
- The PEPFAR Blueprint for an AIDS-free generation is not just another plan. It is a clear, practical way to move the world towards the goals adopted at the UN High Level Meeting on AIDS.
- UNAIDS Executive Director’s delivery of the 2012 Lancet Lecture
- Today, the dialogue on AIDS has shifted from applauding incremental scale-up to expressing a true belief that we will end this epidemic. But we have reached a moment of truth. We need to understand and integrate the magnitude of the changes that are happening into a new narrative for global health.
- Opening remarks by UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé on the occasion of the African Union High-Level Side Event on Shared Responsibility and Global Solidarity for AIDS
- Mr President, as Chairperson of the African Union, you have made it a priority for Africa to lead and own its own AIDS response. Under your leadership, the African Union adopted its new roadmap for AIDS, TB and malaria this July.
- UNAIDS Executive Director’s opening address at the XIX International AIDS Conference, 22 July 2012, Washington, D.C.
- Our Journey to Zero: A New Era to Leverage Opportunities and Share Responsibility
- "Crossing the final frontiers on the road to zero", UNAIDS Executive Director’s speech, Wilton Park
- There will be unforeseen obstacles, but it is very clear that we have started on the road to zero and have taken the first major strides in that direction.
- UNAIDS Executive Director’s speech at the 6th Francophone conference on AIDS (in French)
- Aujourd’hui je voudrais vous dire que la Francophonie ne constitue pas seulement un outil linguistique; la Francophonie constitue également un espace politique construit autour de valeurs communes avec un sens aigu de la solidarité.
- "Getting to zero demands compassion": UNAIDS Executive Director’s speech to joint stakeholders and President Nailitikau of Fiji
- It is so critical that people are not excluded from our response because of their HIV status, their social status or their sexual orientation. If we want to be inclusive, if we want to have a society that is able to transform itself, we must be capable of having compassion and tolerance. That is what the President has shown, and that is why I am here.
- "Getting to zero is a journey to social justice": UNAIDS Executive Director’s speech to New Zealand MFAT Town Hall
- UNAIDS’ vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths is not about “absolute zero.” It is a journey that leads us to social justice and to greater distribution of opportunity for people who are not lucky.
