ALL AGAINST VIOLENCE AND FOR RESPECT FOR RIGHTS OF WOMEN VULNERABLE TO AIDS
The Regional Human Rights Commission of Tangier, in coordination with the Moroccan Association for the Fight Against AIDS, holds an awareness meeting under the heading “All against violence and for respect of rights of women vulnerable to AIDS”, on Friday, March 15, 2013 at the National Institute for Social Work in Tangier.The meeting, organized to mark the International Women’s Day, reflects the role of the National Human Rights Council (CNDH) and its regional mechanisms in protecting the rights of vulnerable persons and promoting the culture of human rights. This is through the fight against all forms of violence and discrimination against vulnerable women, particularly since a close link exists between violence against women and exposure to AIDS.
The meeting aims at encouraging and stimulating an in-depth debate on the role of stakeholders in promoting and protecting the rights of AIDS-infected persons, especially women, and combating violence and all forms of stigma and discrimination against them.
It will discuss three major themes: the epidemiological situation, AIDS and human rights, and prevention operations among women in difficult situation.
