SECRETARY-GENERAL HAILS WOMEN AS MOST COURAGEOUS, CREATIVE CHAMPIONS
IN FIGHT AGAINST HIV/AIDS, IN WORLD AIDS DAY MESSAGE

28 December 2004

Women are our most courageous and creative champions in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In most
countries and communities I have visited around the world, it is women’s voices that are heard above all others;
women advocates and activists who are moved to act selflessly and speak publicly, often risking prejudice,
abuse or violence, in order to improve the lives of others.
