Dance your anger and your joys,
Dance the military guns to silence,
Dance oppression and injustice to death,
Dance my people.

World AIDS Day, 1 December 2008
"It is through awareness and education that we can combat HIV"
Human
rights are integral to the fight against HIV/AIDS. An open and
supportive rights-based approach to HIV/AIDS is essential to ensure
that everyone enjoys full access to means of prevention, voluntary
counselling and testing, and long-term sustainable treatment, care
and support, and can live free from fear, violence and
discrimination. Without such an approach, increasing numbers of
people will be deprived of the
possibility to live a secure and
fulfilling life.
We will not give up!!!

Racial discrimination
Racism is a tragedy,We all must participate in efforts to eradicate racism at home and abroad.Racism that perverts the course of justice is a daily fact of life for many people.Being educated and give education on this subject will ease this plague that is many times overlooked, ignored or openly tolerated.
SAY NO TO RACISM,TOGETHER,WE ARE STRONGER.

RIGHTS-SOUTHERN AFRICA: Xenophobia Impacts on Mozambique
 |
In July month 05, the coordinator for African-rapport networks made a visit to the West Africa country w:st="on"Ghana. The aim of the visit was to give information about Aids/HIV preventation and Human Rights to the remote areas of the country. Together with the local organizations and the local authorities the idea was turned into a football tournament that attracted more than 3500 people.
In
a very creative way the clear message to the people was delivered
with great enthusiasm and firm commitment. Speaker from the Ministry
of Health Dr Simon Anantelar and Hon Kwabena Chereh D.C.E Berekum
were present. The soccer tournament took place during two days
in a row given the public not only education, condoms and information
but surely a lot of fun.

Women feed the world: Africa
By Giovanna Cossia - Directed
by Marco De Poli
For
centuries, women's noble act of feeding their families has been
celebrated by artists. Today, this image testifies a reality more
than ever. The role of women as powerful agents for social
transformation and development has been increasingly recognized by
development agencies. The international community has greatly
enhanced its awareness of women's roles and potentials, but a lot
remains to be done in terms of translating sensitivity and commitment
into responsive action. Agricultural development policies still do
not reflect the needs of women adequately and if they are
incorporated, they often fail to be translated into practice. This
remains a barrier to reaching the goal of food for all in the
foreseeable future. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is
working towards the advancement of women in rural areas as their
contribution to agricultural and rural production is key to achieving
food security and sustainable development.

"Peace comes to all nations of the world"

The
more we understand what human rights are - what they mean to us
as
individuals, what they mean to our communities - the clearer
our message will be
to those who have the power to either deny and
abuse these rights
or
fulfill and uphold them".
Knowledge,
understanding, action, change...we can work for nothing less.
