HIV/Aids Alliance mark World Aids Day
How do you think we can achieve a world in which people do not die from HIV/Aids?
This is the question being asked by Brighton-based charity, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance to mark World AIDS Day today.
Jane Waterman, Director of External Relations at the Alliance said,
“AIDS still kills 65,000 people every day. That’s more that all the natural disasters put together in the last decade.”
Huge photos in the windows of Brighton Library will be displayed by the charity who want to ask local people their views until December 5.
You can have your say by adding your comments to a large red World AIDS Day book in the library foyer. In the book you will find answers from many public figures, including Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Stephen Fry and Brighton-based broadcaster Simon Fanshawe.
Jane Waterman said,
“We need people to come down to the library and see that HIV/Aids affects us all and it’s not just happening to people somewhere else in the world. We all need to take responsibility to protect ourselves and others and to fight the stigma and discrimination,”
People can also add their comments via the interactive website www.aidsalliance.org/WAD08.
They can see their views published on the site, as well as seeing what other people are saying.
