Demonstrators gathered outside the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C., to protest against cuts to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the world’s leading HIV initiative. The program, which has saved millions of lives globally, faces funding reductions under the Trump administration.
Activists and health advocates warn that the cuts could have devastating consequences, particularly in vulnerable regions reliant on U.S. support. Protesters urged the administration to reconsider, emphasizing the critical role of PEPFAR in combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic worldwide.
