About us
Action Against AIDS Germany
“Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services (...).”
- Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations, 1948
With its campaigns, Action against AIDS Germany wants to break the silence on HIV/AIDS and is committed to a world without AIDS and poverty. HIV/AIDS impacts on all aspects of lives of people living with the disease. The HIV/AIDS epidemic threatens prospects for development globally and increases the risk of further impoverishment. The HIV/AIDS epidemic calls worldwide for social rethinking.
The demands of Action against AIDS Germany refer to the HIV/AIDS specific targets of the United Nations set in June 2001 and are specifically addressing the German government and the pharmaceutical industry. Core demands focus on support for human right to life and health, additional funding for global AIDS prevention and treatment by the German government and price cuts for essential medicines by the pharmaceutical industry.
Through national campaigning and political dialogue Action against AIDS Germany reminds all relevant stakeholders of the international commitments and promises of UN Member States’ governments and the G8. It demands urgent implementation as political decision-makers, pharmaceutical companies and the general public have to take on responsibility in the global fight against HIV/AIDS. The lives of millions of people depend on keeping these promises.
Action against AIDS Germany is a German nationwide network of more than 100 non-
governmental organizations and more than 280 grassroots groups working on AIDS and development cooperation.
In order to coordinate the network's lobbying activities and public relations a campaign bureau has operated out of the German Institute for Medical Mission (DIFÄM) in Tübingen since 2002. The civil society network is exclusively funded by membership fees.
