Julian's Blog

This AIDS conference has been full of knowledge. It wasn’t just about HIV/AIDS. It was about learning and gathering and sharing information and opinions among people with HIV and without HIV. I also think that this conference was about women sharing about empowerment. There was discussion of violence, inequality, and disrespect. I hope everyone came out a little smarter and a little more aware how they can help especially that women’s empowerment can make a difference in the environment and in people’s minds. I’m eleven and I am taking a lot out of this conference. A bit more than I expected. I just hope that education for men and women gets better. That we know about HIV/AIDS and that our awareness changes our actions. Denying young people information about sex is a violation of their rights.

Julian, if you ever need a job as an advocate for women's rights, come join me here at Comic Relief! You're quite the raconteur and the blog is fantastic. Looking forward to many more words of wisdom.
