Decades of progress on democracy, human rights & global cooperation are at risk. The EU must act now!

Pandemieën houden zich niet aan grenzen. Bezuinigen op ontwikkelingssamenwerking is oliedom. “Mensen in de hele wereld die besmet zijn, profiteren van Zuid-Afrikaans HIV/AIDS onderzoek. We hebben dingen ontdekt die internationale impact hebben.” nos.nl/l/2564904

We sluiten ons aan bij de krachtige woorden van @daniellehirsch.bsky.social: overdraagbare ziektes zoals hiv stoppen niet aan landsgrenzen. Alleen door samen te werken - hier én wereldwijd - kunnen we een einde maken aan hiv en toekomstige pandemieën voorkomen! 📖 nos.nl/artikel/2564...
