Asia Catalyst Update
December 2010
Here’s what we did with your help in the last quarter. Our work to help grassroots Asian AIDS groups to survive
and thrive scaled up, with new projects in China and Thailand. But we need your
help to help others. Please give: www.asiacatalyst.org/donate

AIDS Concern is proud to launch its newly published Chinese-language manual POZ in the City, coauthored by AIDS
Concern and a group of people living with HIV (PLHIV) experienced in public
speaking. We invite you to step forward and work together to combat stigma and
prejudice attached to PLHIV. 香港「关怀爱滋」伙拍一群公众演说经验丰富的感染者共同撰写了「正能量计划」手册，希望籍此和各位同工及感染者分享如何进行感染者公众演说，共同为消除对爱滋病和爱滋病病毒感染者的标签及偏见努力。

在维也纳的会议期间，成千上万的人上街集会，要求把人权列入到艾滋病的各项政策和项目中去。集会的地点是位于奥地利国会大楼前的英雄广场，一个具有历史意义的地方。人们相聚一起，为联合国艾滋病规划署署长、全球基金会会长和国际艾滋病活动家如马克·西伍德欢呼，和流行歌手安妮·列克斯一起载歌载舞。

A few highlights from the International AIDS Conference, from us and our Chinese partners — with some of their photos.

At 5 pm, the crowd began to assemble
on the square in front of the Messe Wien convention center. Some handed out
signs reading “Broken promises kill” or “we are watching” over photos of giant
eyeballs. Others wrestled in the wind with a black-and-white banner reading “No
retreat, fund AIDS.”
