Human Rights Networking Zone

See you in Vienna!

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to the Human Rights Networking Zone at the XVIII International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2010) in Vienna. Located in the Global Village, our zone is a public space in which individuals and organizations can participate in activities that underscore the importance of human rights in addressing HIV/AIDS — exciting events that will bring home the theme of AIDS 2010, “Rights Here, Right Now.” You’ll find us in area 908 of the Global Village (Hall A, Messe Wien).

We’re presenting 20 hours of programming from 16 countries over 5 days, including 15 video screenings, 6 panel discussions and 5 skills-building workshops on HIV- and human rights–related topics.
