UNAIDS chief supports Robin Hood Tax
At the International AIDS Conference in Vienna this week, Michel Sidibe, Executive Director of UNAIDS, the joint UN programme on HIV/AIDS, has called for a Robin Hood Tax to raise money for causes like the eradication of HIV/AIDS. He said:
“The financial crisis should not be an excuse to flat-line or scale back. In fact, it is an opportunity for new sources of funding, like a levy on global financial transactions – a Robin Hood tax.”
