Undoing Human Wrongs

Set-up on Saturday, June 2, 2007, this site has been established to address human rights issues. I have always been disturbed, concerned, and saddened by humanity's preoccupation with fearing difference. Ethnic conflict, criminalizing sexuality, exclusionary processes, political and religious frameworks guaranteeing division; these are ever-present topics taking place in all parts of the world. On the other hand I have always been inspired by communities and states that have moved forward in a quest to guarantee universal rights for all, creating laws which include rather than exclude certain groups. I have also been inspired by individuals who challenge others to think about prejudice, racism- discrimination at all levels. My challenge to friends, family, and the bloggers reading this is to become aware of new places with human rights abuses, learn about inspirational people, send stories, and make people aware. You can send messages out through your own sites, in emails to friends, or to the comments section of my blog. If you have links, videos, literature, etc, that you would like added send me a note (email in my full profile below). Terry

World Health Day

April 7th was World Health Day...whoops, sort of missed it, better late than never I guess.

I've posted a link below for an organization that has some pretty interesting stuff on HIV/AIDS and sexual health in general.

AVERT is an international AIDS charity; I really like the variety of media it uses to educate, to question our perceptions of HIV/AIDS, and to help us understand the issues faced by positive persons dealing with discrimination and stigma. It uses narratives, quotes, videos, quizzes, photos, editorials, etc, to really get various points across.
