Gender based violence, including digital violence, drives girls out of school; making them more vulnerable to violence, HIV, exploitation, and early pregnancy.

As we start #16Days, we join UN Women in calling for the protection of women and girls from all forms of violence.

Why support the #GlobalFund? Because it works.

✅ HIV infections down 62%
✅ TB deaths down 40%
✅ Malaria eliminated in 21 countries

Those are some of the reasons.

There are 70 million more – that’s how many lives the Global Fund has saved.

We must #StopAtNothing to end AIDS, TB & malaria.
