We believe that the end of AIDS is possible if there is more focus on key populations. Our project in Ukraine addresses barriers faced by the PWUD community related to their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Driven by community champions, we work to realize strong collaboration with civil society; meanginful involvement in coordination council; transforming qualified specialists into activists; increased awareness, motivation and skills of PWUD to demand human rights; decriminalization of drug use; and access to high quality health services and comprehensive packages of services for (young) PWUD. The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Ukraine has been growing since the early 1990s among key populations. The HIV epidemic observed in Ukraine is the second largest HIV epidemic among Eastern European and Central Asian countries. During the last five years, progress in HIV response and a decreasing HIV rate among several key populations has been achieved with technical and financial support from international donors. However, HIV prevalence is still high with 21.9% among PWID. Since 2009, the Ukrainian state took financial responsibility for ART but not for the comprehensive country HIV response. In early 2014 Ukraine was hit by socio-economic and political crisis with the occupation and annexation of the Crimea. The ongoing war in Eastern Ukraine has caused many people to leave non-Ukraine controlled territories amid high violence, crises in access to food and accommodation, and massive human rights violations. It has become hard or almost impossible for KPs in rebel-controlled territories to get opioid substitution therapy (OST), harm reduction services and ART. War and waves of internally displaced people (IDPs) have led to shortages in domestic funding, and pushed HIV response down to the lowest priority for state and local governments.
