UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon meets
with the 2008 red Ribbon Award winners
Communities lie at the heart of the response to HIV–displaying extraordinary courage and resilience in addressing one of the greatest challenges of our time. Community-based organizations are often the driving forces in the response to the epidemic. Using creative and practical ways to provide treatment, care and support to people living with and affected by HIV, community initiatives address the loss of human capacity and innovate in the face of deepening poverty, stigma and discrimination. These acts of community leadership show us, in practical ways, how to shape and contain a global epidemic – one community at a time.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon poses for photographers after a session Aug. 4 at the Red Ribbon Award Community Tequio Dialogue Space in the Global Village of AIDS 2008 with (l-r) Red Ribbon Award-winner Daphne Gondwe of the Coalition of Women Living with HIV/AIDS, Yolanda Simon of the Living 2008 Summit, Red Ribbon Award-winner Nadia Rafif of the Association de Lutte Contre Le Sida, and Eddy Chen of the Living 2008 Summit.
