Today the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Ambassador Eric Goosby announced $5 million from the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) for the Together for Girls ( TfG) partnership.
Launched in 2009, TfG is a public/private partnership including the UN and U.S. 
government to address violence against girls and boys, with a special focus on sexual violence committed against girls.
Recognizing and combating gender-based violence is essential to ending the AIDS epidemic, which disproportionately affects women and girls.
