World AIDS Day 2010

Statement by Thoraya Ahmed Obaid,

UNFPA Executive Director, 1 December 2010

Today, on World AIDS Day, we call for universal access and human rights for all and we extend solidarity to all people living with HIV.

UNFPA welcomes the new data from UNAIDS showing that the epidemic is changing course, thanks to bold and concerted actions, including an emphasis on the right to prevention, treatment, care and support.

New HIV infections have fallen by nearly 20 per cent in the last 10 years, AIDS-related deaths are down by nearly 20 per cent in the last five years, and the total number of people living with HIV is stabilizing.

We are coming closer to a world where no children have to grow up with the burden of HIV as more and more babies are protected from mother-to-child transmission of the virus.

Moreover, we applaud the leadership of young people, who have adopted safer sexual practices and are now leading the prevention revolution. Among young people in 15 of the most severely affected countries, the rate of new HIV infections has fallen by more than 25 per cent.

We now have more reason than ever to dream of a world with zero new HIV infections, zero AIDS-related deaths, and zero discrimination. Now is the time to build on the successes we have had because too many women and young people still lack access to the information and services they need to protect themselves.

By further integrating HIV programmes and services with sexual and reproductive health, we can make the response even more effective.

UNFPA is working in partnership with other UN agencies, governments, civil society and private sector to promote universal access to prevention, treatment, care and support, and respect for human rights for all.

We will continue to share, care and dare to do the right thing and stand up for the principles of human rights, especially for the most vulnerable and most at risk populations.

Today, and every day, let us join hands to make universal access and human rights come true for everyon

Thousands of protesters clash with police in Chicago: Chaos in the Windy City as 45 activists arrested and one cop stabbed after demonstrators target NATO

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER Thousands of demonstrators upset with the war in Afghanistan, climate change and the erosion of union rights have raised the intensity of a march in downtown Chicago on Sunday as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit. The protest, one of the city's largest in years, turned violent at the end of an anti-NATO march, where demonstrators confronted Chicago police, pushing against a line of officers several blocks from the lakefront convention center where President Obama hosted a gathering of world leaders. Authorities were seen making arrests one by one and leading individual demonstrators away in handcuffs. After a clash near McCormick Place, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference that the protests resulted in 45 people being arrested and four officers suffering injuries - one from a stab wound in the leg.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was
