| Summary: | Professor Hakima Himmich traces the history of the Association de lutte contre le sida (ALCS), which she founded in Morocco in 1988. The organization first initiated programs targeting the populations most exposed to HIV, fought against the stigmatization and discrimination of people living with HIV, and then launched the fight for access to antiretroviral treatment. Its links with AIDES in France led her to co-found Coalition Plus, an international union of community-based AIDS organizations. Finally, the author shares her concern about the possible termination of funding from the Global Fund, which would put an end to the organization’s programs for groups most at risk of HIV. |
