Global Programmes
WAC, through its office in Cape Town, is working closely with civil society organisations in countries around the world. WAC is serving as a facilitator to strengthen civil society voices on AIDS and help build national, regional and global campaigns demanding leaders to keep the promise of universal access.
One of the focuses of this programme is for coordinated mobilisation events around World AIDS Day and the production of materials such as national websites, posters and elists which will help keep the campaigning momentum going throughout the year.

Global Commission on HIV and the Law
The Global Commission on HIV and Law was officially launched on June 24, 2010 by Helen Clark, Administrator, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Michel Sidibé, Executive Director, The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The Commission’s goal is to develop actionable, evidence-informed and human rights-based recommendations supporting national legal environments that enable effective HIV responses and realize the human rights of those living with and affected by HIV. To this end, the Commission will focus on some of the most challenging legal and human rights issues in the context of HIV, including criminalization of HIV transmission and behaviors and practices such as drug use, sex work and consensual adult same sex sexual relations.
