Angola: AJPD Humanitarian Association Holds Third Conference On HIV/Aids

A conference on HIV/AIDS and human rights will hold on April 26 to 27, here, under the guidance of the Justice, Peace and Democracy Association (AJPD).

AJPD will hold its third forum of the kind in the framework of the project of Advocacy of Rights of HIV Infected People, informs the association in a communiqué sent to ANGOP this Tuesday.

The meeting will aim at publicly discussing the role of leadership and promoting a greater involvement of the civil society in the promotion and defence of the rights of HIV infected people, encouraging and showing the routes so that the infected resort more frequently to legal procedures for their protection.
On the motto "United in the Fight against Stigma and Discrimination", the meeting also foresees to share the experiences of other countries, such as that of Brazil, concerning the participation of HIV positive people in the struggle against discrimination and stigmatization.

AJPD, in the light of its project of advocacy of rights of HIV infected people, holds similar activities nationwide.

Founded in August 2000, AJPD has a social objective for the defence and promotion of human rights, values of democracy, peace and social justice.
