Dear readers,

To mark World AIDS Day, December, 1, Tuoitrenews is starting a new section dedicated to HIV-related issues.

It will feature real-life stories of men and women struggling with HIV/AIDS, their courageous efforts to not only live with dignity but also help others, the terrible discrimination they often face, efforts to rid the disease of the stigma, and the latest information on HIV-related events.

We hope to offer insights into the fraught world of HIV and create empathy for victims as a means to reduce discrimination.

Since its birth six months ago, Tuoitrenews has brought to you news as it happened, the best feature stories, and, most importantly, an unbiased take on all issues.

The response from you readers has been encouraging to say the least and we solicit your continued feedback on all issues, especially the new HIV section.

We welcome stories from you about HIV, stories of hope and courage when faced with the disease, about discrimination and stigma, about sympathy and apathy.

Seminar highlights child protection issues

A total of 85 children from 12 cities and provinces are attending a two-day conference on child maltreatment and trafficking, in Hanoi on August 26.

Nguyen Hai Huu, head of the Child Care and Protection Department under the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA), said that the event will help children to understand more about children’s rights as well as the causes of child maltreatment, violence and trafficking.

They will hold direct talks with representatives from MoLISA and the steering committee for the Coordinated Mekong Ministerial Initiative Against Trafficking (COMMIT) to reveal their views and thoughts on the issues, he said.

According to Huu, the children’s views will be used to draw up the national programme on child protection during the 2011-2015 period and presented at the national conference on preventing the maltreatment of children in September this year.

MoLISA and COMMIT’s steering committee will deliver recommendations for the issues based on these talks, he said./.
