We join the rest of the world today to commemorate the 2019. We stand in solidarity with those infected and affected by HIV and HIV related illnesses plus those who have lost their lives to AIDS. This year's theme revolves around communities making a difference in regards to ending HIV epidemic. The cultural and social attitudes of individuals towards people living with HIV have thrived a lot of stigma and discrimination which discourages people living with HIV from disclosing their status and seeking psychosocial support. Involving community members is an instrumental tool in the care, counseling and the overall welfare of people living with HIV. Take an initiative today, add your voice and effort to create a stigma free world.

Ms Sylivia Namubiru the Executive Director Legal Aid Services Network Uganda who holds a honorary doctorate in Humanity due to her dedicated work in practice of the law expressed her concern about a rising story from one of the most top notch schools in Uganda where a teacher sexually molested primary school girls under his care! "Schools are supposed to be places where girls find safety but its very saddening to hear about such a thing happening! " she lamented.
The most disturbing part of the story is that the girls tried to report to the school administration and it didn't take any action in the guise of saving face from public embarrassment! The efforts to end gender based violence against girls is everyone's responsibility including parents by raising children who are able to defend them selves and stand against all forms of violence.
