Recent updates and resources to support you in your ministry and mission World Aids Day – December 1 2009 World Aids Day began in 1988 when health ministers from around the world met and agreed on the concept of the day as an opportunity for all of us to come together to demonstrate the importance of AIDS and show solidarity for the cause. World Aids Day has become one of the most successful “international days” for raising global awareness and its original concept still stands firm today.World Aids Day 2009 looks at Universal Access and Human Rights through its “I AM theme”. The World AIDS Campaign arrived at the selection of the theme Universal Access and Human Rights after close consultation with representatives of various constituencies, communications and media representatives of partner organizations, and friends of the World AIDS Campaign. 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. The slogans for the World AIDS Day materials were designed to bridge that gap and underscore the importance of awareness of Human Rights. Some of the key slogans are: - I am accepted - 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. The aim was to provide concise, informative texts designed to illustrate the relationship between Human Rights and Universal Access.
