IWD: NACA pledges support for women living with HIV
As the world marks International Women’s Day, the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that every woman, regardless of her HIV status, has access to healthcare, dignity, and respect.
In a statement, the Director-General of NACA, Dr Temitope Ilori, praised the strength, resilience, and leadership of women living with HIV.
According to the statement, Dr Ilori commended their efforts in breaking barriers, challenging stigma, and inspiring others.
“You face not only the virus but also stigma, discrimination, and systemic barriers—yet you continue to rise, fight, and claim your rightful place in this world.
“You are mothers, daughters, sisters, leaders, advocates, and warriors. You refuse to be silenced. You refuse to be defined by HIV. You are breaking down barriers, shattering stigma, and changing lives—not just your own, but those of countless others who look to you for hope and inspiration,” the statement read.
Dr Ilori further emphasised that the agency would not only celebrate women today but also stand with them in their fight for equality and inclusion.
“Your voice matters. Your life matters. And your power is unstoppable,” she said.
