Today is World Aids Day. The Day is initiated to raise awareness about the epidemic which is still far from being totally eradicated. I was online the whole day reading about the many articles and the many changes the UNAIDS and many other organisations have undertaken to ensure respective countries and the involved governments take the required measures to bring about changes. And one of my favourite blogger Emm in her blog, A Passion to Understand, wrote an article regarding today's Aids Commemoration day. Please do read. One will learn a lot, least I did. :) :)This year's theme is Universal Access and Human Rights. Universal Access is to ensure that treatment and preventive measures are universally available. Human Rights was chosen in compliance with the many laws that certain nations withhold in limiting human rights or female rights in particular. And also the many limitations that are posed upon a HIV positive individual hence reducing their opportunity to excel.
Let's do our part, even if its a bare minimum to change the way the society views AIDs and to eliminate the stigma that goes with it.
Go Red for AIDS Today.
