World AIDS Day - Universal Access and Human Rights

There are still ten days left to blog about the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. Read what women on PulseWire are saying and add your voice. Remember to tag your journal 16 Days 2009 and your journal will join the chorus of women speaking out against gender violence.

Today, December 1 is World AIDS Day, which is also within the 16 Days. The theme for World AIDS Day 2009 is 'Universal Access and Human Rights'. Global leaders have pledged to work towards universal access to HIV and AIDS treatment, prevention and care, recognizing these as fundamental human rights. I encourage you to write on this topic in your journal and share your own story. In addition to tagging your journal 16 Days 2009, you can also add the tag Red2009 to create a unified collection of journals on the topic of AIDS.
