Civil Society Organizations

Civil society organizations are powerful forces in the fight against HIV/AIDS — especially those groups that represent people living with HIV/AIDS. They can funnel the vigour of community activism into the larger response, help mobilize new activities and focus attention on neglected aspects of the epidemic. Combined with national and international initiatives, their role becomes even more profound. 

An e-forum (via e-mail) has been set up to channel input, ideas and priorities from civil society organizations into the Special Session process. Issues raised through the e-forum will be compiled and made available to government delegations in the run-up to the Special Session.  

To join the e-forum, send an e-mail to break-the-silence@hdnet.org.
