Credit: UNAIDSUNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima addressed G20 leaders on global inequalities, and welcomed the Declaration agreed at the summit. The Declaration includes a call to action from the G20 on what it labels “deepening inequality” and calls for greater action to improve the world’s future health security and address today’s pandemics like AIDS.
UNAIDS Executive Director and United Nations Under-Secretary-General Winnie Byanyima has warned G20 leaders that entrenched inequalities within and between countries are a threat to the whole world. Noting that inequalities are prolonging the AIDS crisis and leaving the world vulnerable to future pandemics, she urged leaders to establish an International Panel on Inequality, which could support governments and multilateral agencies to develop national and international policies to address inequality.
