目前在中国，成千上万的艾滋病患者和感染者在合法化的歧视面前沦落为二等公民。我们来自南非和美国两个国家。这两个国家历史上都曾经历过许多制度化的歧视：南非的种族隔离制度和美国南部各州的吉姆克罗法。我们应当从我们自己过去的经历中吸取经验教训和展望未来。
[COMMENTARY] Prejudice Mars China’s AIDS Record
From the Wall Street Journal Asia
By Mark Heywood and Sara L.M. Davis
China will observe World AIDS Day on Thursday with events in which Chinese leaders publicly embrace people living
with HIV/AIDS. But on every other day of the year, hundreds of thousands of Chinese living with HIV/AIDS are treated as second-class citizens.
[URGENT APPEAL] Thai People Living with HIV/AIDS Devastated by Floods
Asia Catalyst is urging supporters and friends to give what you can to the Thai Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (TNP+) in their urgent appeal for a disaster response.
According to TNP+, the floods in 26 provinces of Thailand which began in October 2011 have affected about 2 million people. In some towns and villages the water is as high as three meters above street level.
The members of the Thai Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (TNP+) who live in those provinces are affected in many ways:
– homes and household equipment have been damaged, with water levels reaching the roofs of some properties
– equipment damaged
– farm land damaged
– cars and motorcycles under water
“我们感觉很骄傲” — 访问泰国性工作者机构EMPOWER
By Carol Wang
EMPOWER：”我们是性工作者。我们用自己的智慧和技巧挣钱。我们感到很骄傲，因为我们能够用自己的劳动所得去支持自己的家庭和生活。我们在工作中相互照顾；我们 为安全的工作条件、平等的待遇和权利而奋斗。我们为泰国的经济发展做出了很大贡献，很多游客为我们而来。我们也是活跃的公民，我们关心政治、经济、环境、法律、权利，等等。我们努力在社会中占有一席之地，发出自己的声音。有些人认为我们是麻烦的制造者，但实际上我们在帮助社会解决问题。我们是性工作者，我们是EMPOWER。”
In Memoriam: Wang Xiaoguang (王晓光)
We were saddened to hear of the untimely passing of our colleague, teacher and friend, Wang Xiaoguang, one of the founders of Yunnan Daytop in China. Yunnan Daytop is a leader in China’s efforts to provide voluntary and supportive harm reduction services to people who use drugs, and in that role Wang Xiaoguang has been a consistent advocate for drug users and for Chinese grassroots NGOs that serve them. Asia Catalyst and other international agencies frequently called on Xiaoguang for his insights and advice, and we’ll be at a real loss without him to turn to.
Our (unofficial) translation of Daytop’s obituary for him follows, along with the Chinese original text.
