Monrovia – The National AIDS Commission of Liberia, in collaboration with civil society and human rights organizations in the West African state, joins the United Nations, partners and the world at large to commemorate “Zero Discrimination Day” on Wednesday March 1, 2017. Mr. Sidibé further challenged the world to make some noise to challenge discrimination, wherever it happens on this year’s Zero Discrimination Day. “HIV related stigma and discrimination is pervasive and exists in almost every part of the world including our Liberia,” Dr. Camanor told the Anti-AIDS Media Network of Liberia. She called on Liberians throughout the republic to focus more attention on stopping stigma and discrimination by standup against acts of stigma and discrimination. Zero Discrimination Day is an opportunity to join together against discrimination and celebrate everyone’s right to live a full and productive life with dignity.
