Thank you for visiting AIDS2008.com, an independent community resource sponsored by the Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project (CHAMP) for the XVII International AIDS Conference (IAC) in Mexico City. AIDS2008.com officially launched on July 21, 2008 and concluded August 22, 2008.
During the IAC, over fifty community bloggers and other journalists from around the world reported on the plenaries, workshops, sessions, exhibits, and satellite/affiliated events at the conference from the community perspective. Although the conference has ended, we are keeping this site up for those wishing to read more about it. |
"Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give thee rest"
by Jacqui Patterson
Thu, 08/21/2008 - 10:13am “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give thee rest.” What does this mean to the church? I know scripture isn’t the most common language one would find on a CHAMP blogspot :-) but there it is and here I am, a Christian and a proponent for social justice for all. And I have some questions for my sistren and brethren in the church. I spent the first 3 days of my time in Mexico City at the Ecumenical Pre-Conference where I appreciated some great dialogue with most of my time and energy engaging in discussions around gender, and specifically about patriarchy in the church and gender based violence. I was sad to note an absence of dedicated space on the program for LGBTQQI people and issues/dynamics particularly affecting queer folk, particularly given the early and continued epidemiology of HIV&AIDS as well as the continued proliferation of discrimination against queer communities and individuals. read more » Reaching Youth with Information Communication Technology

My colleague Hope Hempstone posted an interesting blog entry on reaching youth with new media based on her attendance at an interesting session on Tuesday of the conference. In a field where it becomes so easy to rely on the same old media channels (or at least using TV, radio and print media in the same old way), it's both refreshing and inspiring to hear about those that are breaking from this norm.
