Morocco moves to protect AIDS patients’ rights

Morocco’s Advisory Council on Human Rights (CCDH) signed an agreement on December 6th in Rabat with the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) aimed at protecting the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS.

“Within the framework of our work to promote and protect human rights, we will work on raising awareness that people infected and living with HIV/AIDS shouldn’t be treated as outcasts,” CCDH President Ahmed Herzenni told Magharebia. “We will also work to change the misconceptions about this disease, which can be avoided through prevention. We must also work to safeguard the rights and dignity of people infected with it.”
