Subject: [sogi] ECOSOC resolution on AIDS
Hi all,
The attached resolution was adopted by consensus today at the UN Economic and Social Council.
Historically, the resolution welcomes the efforts of UNAIDS to advance universal access for men who have sex with men and transgender people (see, eg, para 20).
This represents an exciting step forward for the ECOSOC, which in the past has refused to acknowledge the specific needs of MSM and other marginalised communities (an approach described by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan as "like putting your head in the sand".)
It may also be the first UN resolution ever to reference the word "transgender" (but not the last!)
Congratulations to those at UNAIDS who worked to make this happen!
On Monday, the ECOSOC will vote on whether to grant UN consultative status to the Brasilian NGO ABGLT.
Best wishes,
John Fisher
