WORLD AIDS DAY 2010

Universal Access and Human Rights:
The Theme for World AIDS Day 2010

Understanding HIV and AIDS from a human rights perspective can be difficult. Human rights are often misunderstood - and can sometimes be seen as abstract ideals - with not much practical relevance for real people.
With "Universal Access and Human Rights" being the theme of this year's World AIDS Day, the key slogans are:

• I am accepted.
• I am safe.
• I am getting treatment.
• I am well.
• I am living my rights.
• Everyone deserves to live their rights.
• Right to Live.
• Right to Health.
• Access for all to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support is a critical part of human rights.
• STOP AIDS,KEEP PROMISE.

AWAAZ DO....................

Hi,

Recently I came across a startling fact that 8 million children in our country are denied their basic right to education. With the Right to Education Act making education free and compulsory, we must now join hands to help these children exercise this right.

UNICEF has started a movement Awaaz Do that provides us a platform to ensure that no child in this country is denied his/her basic right to education. I have joined this movement and I urge you to pledge your support to the cause.

To join the cause,
SMS AWAAZDO to 53030 or log on to www.AwaazDo.in

Together we can make a difference. So let’s get started.

Awaaz do!
