World Aids Day

Malta Independent Saturday, 1 December 2007, 00:00 Last update: about 20 years ago

This year’s theme for World Aids Day is Leadership, with the UN saying leadership stands for innovation, vision and action.

Leadership is what young people should have, to not remain passive about what affects them.

They should be assertive and make their voice heard.

Advances on the Aids epidemic were made when there was unity among people to be leaders and often they were not heads of government but young and adults who took action.

There should be education about the subject.

There could be no delay in informing the general public on such a subject as HIV/Aids and everyone should do their best to raise awareness of it.
