AHF Europe

AHF Europe celebrated the #IDGC2025 across Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia and Greece - empowering, inspiring, and amplifying girls’ voices! From science talks to drumming beats, from art to advocacy, girls came together to share their dreams, creativity and courage.

@AhfUkraine has launched a new Wellness Center in Kyiv - a modern, inclusive space where anyone can receive free and anonymous testing for HIV, STIs, and Hepatitis B & C, along with medical consultations and treatment. This is already AHF Ukraine’s third wellness center.

AHF recently joined the Health Without Borders (HWB) Association in celebrating 25 years of transformative service—empowering communities, breaking stigma, and changing lives across Bulgaria. Bulgaria is the newest country program in the AHF Europe Bureau, launched in May 2024.

Women face medical discrimination twice as often as men. On International Women's Day a press briefing was held at Ukraine Media Center, dedicated to the challenges women face in accessing medical services. #AHFUkraine together with Partners discussed key issues and berriers.

On February 13, #AHFUkraine marked #InternationalCondomDay with a unique and interactive performance, “(Un)Safe Love”, at the Theater in Kyiv. It was a bold, open conversation about modern relationships, intimacy, and the choices that shape our safety. #AHF #JustUseIt

February 13 is a day for love—and for making safe, responsible choices. AHF is recognizing #InternationalCondomDay with global initiatives to promote safer relationships and expand access to free condoms worldwide. Learn more here: brusselstimes.com/promoted/14336… #ICD #JustUseIt #AHF

Recently, at the Global Marketing and Advocacy Summit, @AhfUkraine team received a well-deserved award. “In recognition of your bravery, perseverance and relentless dedication to serving your community through all challenges. We Thank you” (January 2025). Inspiring recognition!

AHF Ukraine team organized a press briefing dedicated to #WorldAIDSDay that brought together representatives of the public health sector, media representatives, doctors, members of youth movements like Teenergizer, and civil society activists. #ItsNotOver

Today we commemorate the #WorldAIDSDay This day gives us a moment to reflect on lives lost, celebrate progress made and reignite our commitment to ending the epidemic.Together we honor the past, support the present, and fight for a future where everyone is protected from HIV/AIDS

Members of AHF Europe visited our partner in Portugal, GAT. We were impressed by how the team has created testing spaces tailored to different communities in Lisbon. We toured several testing sites and were inspired by the high level of service GAT provides to local communities.

We need global partnerships, not just donations, to prepare for future pandemics. Europe must advocate for technology transfer and regional hubs to strengthen health systems worldwide. #ResilienceNotCharity #PandemicPreparedness #HealthEquityNow #SaveOurSocietyNow

For a truly resilient global health system, we need shared responsibility and investment-not outdated aid models. Europe must push for binding agreements on tech transfer & local manufacturing in the Global South. #ResilienceNotCharity #PandemicPreparedness #HealthEquityNow

Vaccine inequity left the Global South vulnerable during COVID-19. We can’t let that happen again. The #pandemicagreemen should prioritize equitable access to vaccines & tech for all countries. #ResilienceNotCharity #GlobalHealth #HealthEquityNow #saveoursocietynow

True health security knows no borders. For the Pandemic Agreement to succeed, Europe must commit to equity by ensuring life-saving technologies are shared globally. It’s time for collective resilience. #HealthEquityNow #saveoursocietynow

Building #GlobalHealth resilience means moving beyond charity. Europe must invest in equitable solutions like regional production hubs & tech transfer to ensure all nations are prepared. Let’s make #PandemicPreparedness a partnership, not a handout. #HealthEquityNow

For the #internationaldayofthegirl a special forum for 60 girls was organised in Kyiv. 4 young speakers proved by their example that success does not depend on age, but on self-belief! On October 11, the IDGC is celebrated to draw attention to the challenges faced by young women.

Last week the AHF Europe team conducted a team meeting in Lublin. The three days were filled with interesting sessions, productive discussions, teamwork, & plenty of fun together. A special thanks to RC Miles for joining us and leading an important session on Emergency Planning.

AHF Europe team visited our partner Asociacija @demetra_lt In Vilnius. We had insightful discussions related to enhancing access to harm reduction programs, #HIV and STI testing, culturally adapted services for vulnerable populations and our joint marketing and advocacy efforts.

Millions of people died because the fundamental principle of equity between nations was ignored during COVID-19 -- this must not be allowed to happen again. More than words, the global south needs concessions @europeanunion to make equity a reality through @WHO pandemic agreement

Empty slogans—that “no one is safe until everyone is safe” —won’t save millions in the developing world from dying due to vaccine hoarding by rich countries. Stop killing equity in the @WHO agreement @EU_Commission @europeanunion @WHO_Europe -- put your money where your mouth is!
