On this year’s Zero Discrimination, let us remember all people living with HIV and health care workers who are working under the most difficult circumstances to deliver the highest quality of care for all.

Criminal laws that specifically target vulnerable groups & HIV-positive individuals violate human rights & worsen the stigma. In order for these demographic groups to enjoy #healthy & respected lives, the topic seeks to raise #awareness on the decriminalization of those groups.

Many nations have faulty legal & judicial systems that historically have excluded some populations/groups from access to basic services, resulting in #socialmarginalization. This prejudice may also be based on a person's gender, color, financial level, or sexual orientation.

#ZeroDiscriminationDay started with a focus on #HIV to highlight how people can become informed about & promote the rights of people living with & affected by HIV. It has expanded to focus on ending all forms of discrimination impacting quality of life, health & well-being.

The theme for #ZeroDiscriminationDay for this year is "Save lives: Decriminalize." The theme emphasizes how #decriminalizing important demographic groups and HIV-positive persons helps save lives and promote the fight against the AIDS pandemic.

In the words of UN Secretary-General António Guterres “We can all do our part to unleash our world’s enormous untapped talent - starting with filling classrooms, laboratories and boardrooms with women scientists.” #idwgis2023 #womenandgirlsinscience #genderequality #sdg5 #CSA

Women accounted 33% of researchers in 2018. They have achieved parity in numbers in life sciences, but women remain a minority in digital IT, computing, physics, mathematics & engineering. These are the fields that are driving the digital revolution & many jobs of tomorrow.

On Dec 20 2013, the GA adopted a resolution on science, technology & innovation for development, in which it recognized that full & #equalaccess to & participation in science, technology & innovation for women & girls of all ages is imperative for achieving #GenderEquality.

On 14 March 2011, the Commission on the Status of Women #CSW adopted a report at its 55th session, with agreements on access & participation of women & girls in education, training, science & technology, & for the promotion of women’s equal access to full employment & #decentwork

February 11th is globally recognized as International day of Women and Girls in Science. This year, #IDWGIS is celebrated under the theme “IDEAS: Innovate, Demonstrate, Elevate, Advance, Sustain.”
