Run for Posi+ive Lives

The Department of Health recently reported yet another set of alarming statistics on HIV infections in the Philippines. Read: 253 more HIV/AIDS cases in September. Ninety-five percent of these cases were males--mostly in the 20 to 29 age group and in the National Capital Region. (But ladies, this does NOT mean we're safe!)

HIV just gets closer and closer to home.

As such, no activity is as timely as the Run for Posi+ive Lives--the country's first ever run for HIV and AIDS, which will be held at the CCP Complex, Pasay City on December 10, 2011, Sunday, at 5:00 am.

The run aims to eliminate ZERO new infections, ZERO AIDS-related deaths, as well as ZERO discrimination for persons living with HIV.

So hurry! REGISTER NOW.

The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), the national machinery for the advancement of women under the Office of the President, together with the Inter-Agency Council on Violence Against Women (IACVAWC) and the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) will once again lead the observance of the 18-day Campaign to End VAW from November 25 to December 12, 2011. The 2011 Campaign shall highlight the Philippines as a country where stakeholders are united to Stop VAW Now.
