 The World AIDS Campaign arrived at the selection of the theme Universal Access and Human Rights after close consultation with representatives of various constituencies, communications and media representatives of partner organizations.
Some opportunities presented by this theme
- The possibility to draw attention to key populations
- To be part of the current momentum around the issue of human rights
- To take advantage of the theme of human rights as a comprehensive approach that ties directly to universal access
- The language and framework of human rights makes new dialogue possible, and pulls together many issues including the right to information, right to treatment,
- non- discrimination as well as the right to health.
- Human rights and universal access are very broad and encompassing themes that
- complement each other when combined
- Internationally agreed conventions and definitions of human rights are a solid advocacy base, particularly in interacting with governments.
