World AIDS Orphans Day

May 7, Tuesday

World AIDS Orphans Day is celebrated every year on May 7 and is dedicated to the problems of children who have become orphans due to the AIDS epidemic. This day is aimed at drawing attention to the social, medical and psycho-emotional support of children who have lost their parents as a result of HIV/AIDS.

Problems and Challenges
Access to education. Many AIDS orphans cannot receive a full education due to financial difficulties and lack of social support.

Health care. The situation is aggravated by the fact that many of these children may themselves be infected with HIV, which creates additional challenges for their treatment and care.

Social isolation. In some countries, such children face discrimination, social isolation and psychological stress, which prevents them from adapting and succeeding in life.

Celebrations and Events
This day is marked by events, awareness-raising activities, and fundraising for charities that help children affected by AIDS. Issues of improving care for these children, access to health and education services, human rights, and psychosocial support are also actively discussed.

World AIDS Orphans Day is an opportunity to highlight the difficult situation faced by children who have lost their parents to AIDS and to highlight the importance of collective efforts in addressing this global problem.
