Magazine is latest weapon in fight against AIDS
15 March 2007
The ITF this week launched Agenda, a new magazine designed to tackle the issue of HIV/AIDS in transport. Available free and in five languages it brings together information about the disease’s spread in all transport sectors and aims to encourage best practice in challenging it.
Funded for three years by Dutch union FNV Mondiaal, the new annual magazine is the latest product to come out of the ITF’s anti-AIDS campaign, which was launched on World AIDS Day 2006 and promotes HIV prevention, campaigns for counselling and testing, for anti-retrovirals and against prejudice. The ITF will be distributing it to transport unions, global union federations and relevant stakeholders such as the International Labour Organization, World Bank and other institutions and non-governmental organisations - and also welcomes requests from other interested organisations. Agenda can also be read and downloaded at www.itfglobal.org/HIV-Aids/agenda1.cfm
Doctor Syed Asif Altaf, ITF Global HIV/AIDS Project Coordinator, added: “A huge amount of expertise on challenging the virus has been built up by all those fighting the virus, both inside and outside the transport area. We hope that Agenda will provide a forum where everyone can share and swap their experiences for the good of all.”
