Patricia Pérez, Chair of ICW Global, spoke about peace as a tool to face AIDS in the closing session.
Vienna, 23 July – Before over 6,000 attendants to the XVIII International AIDS Conference, Patricia Pérez referred to Peace as a great tool to halt the until today unstoppable advance of the pandemic in her closing remarks.
Representing the more than 15,000 members worldwide that make up the International Community for Women Living with HIV/AIDS, Pérez stressed her call for governments from around the world to reallocate resources that are used for weapons, which she called “wrongly spent” to favor Peace before AIDS.
"The women from ICW Global leave this Conference with the certainty of having worked here to gather the will of people in favor of Peace as a concrete possibility that will allow us to stop this terrible pandemic that has wreaked havoc on the poorest sectors of the global society, particularly the young women of the most neglected countries,” said Pérez when she left the main stage where the closing session was held.
