HIV/AIDS
Human Rights Youth Workshop
19 March
2005
The 19th of March
2005 saw a group of youths from
different schools getting together
at Quality International Hotel in
Harare to discuss issues relating
to HIV/AIDS and Human Rights with
the ZLHR Secretariat.
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights
secretariat were surprised to find
out that most of the youths present
had never in their lives seen or
read a copy of The Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, thus concretising
our assumption that youth in Zimbabwe
do not know their rights!
The link between Human Rights and
HIV/AIDS came as an alien concept
to them though it is one that has
adversely affected African children.
The occasion was very enlightening
for those gathered, both knowledgeable
and not knowledgeable. It sparked
interest in the Junior Councillors,
Junior Parliamentarians and Student
Leaders present thus opening doors
for many other youths to be educated
on how it is paramount for them
to have respect for human rights.
