The Independent has unveiled a major campaign ahead of World AIDS Day on 1 December, bringing together partners including UNAIDS and the Institute of Contemporary Arts to raise awareness and call for action as international funding for HIV programmes faces severe cuts.
The initiative includes a new documentary, Death Sentence, and a series of editorial features, events, advocacy efforts and commentary from high profile public figures on the importance of supporting LGBT organisations in the fight to end AIDS.
The campaign includes a petition urging the UK government to protect remaining HIV funding, and a special screening of Death Sentence at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts, followed by a panel discussion with global health leaders.
