| MISSION STATEMENT |
The HIV/AIDS AND HUMAN RIGHTS
YOUTH NETWORK is a project committed to fight the
HIV/AIDS pandemic by strengthening and expanding the
network of Youths and Student organizations involved in
HIV/AIDS work in Zambia. The purpose of the Network is
mult-faceted, primarily it aims to train members of
youth/student organizations on how to use the HIV/AIDS
and Human Rights kit effectively, and thus to empower
them to initiate youth activities around HIV/AIDS and
Human Rights in their communities. It is hoped that this
will help to combat the spread of the disease, as well a
s to raise awareness against socio-cultural stigma
towards people living with HIV/AIDS and protect them from
associated Human Rights violations. It is also hoped that
the programme will equip youths with the necessary skills
to ensure that they as future community leaders, will
advocate for the care of people living with HIV/AIDS in
an ethical, judicious and most appropriate manner.
