Stigma Fuels HIV: Reporting on the Campaign in Asia and the Pacific
|
The campaign in Nepal was officially launched during the World AIDS Day 2011. In front of over 200 UN staff, family members and supporters, Ms. Shoko Noda, UNDP Country Director and Chair, UN Theme Group on AIDS launched it. She emphasized that the campaign is actually the UN family’s contribute to the new UNAIDS vision of 3 zero’s: zero new HIV infection, zero discrimination and zero AIDS related death. She then called on the members of the UN Country Team to join her in cutting the ribbon and releasing balloons with “anti stigma” messages. The launching was made more meaningful when a UN staff spoke eloquently about his personal experience as a Nepali UN staff living with HIV. He encouraged everyone to “go for coffee with someone in your close circle living with HIV, and talk and learn”.
