AIDS in the Bible Belt
"A “perfect storm” of social and  environmental conditions make the South  ground zero for the domestic  HIV/AIDS epidemic. The Southeast region  of the U.S. has the most  poverty, the weakest safety net programs, the  most uninsured people, the  most prisoners, the fewest needle exchange  programs, and the least HIV/AIDS  funding and abstinence-based sex  education, according to a Human Rights Watch report"
It's an interesting article about something you never really hear about. It's sad, maybe not the least because it shows how far behind they are in certain questions, like poverty.

Make Rights Real!
A few minutes from the conference Make Rights Real! that Amnesty Sweden arranged not long ago in Stockholm. Unfortunately I couldn't be there. A good friend of mine working at the secretariat, had among others things, the task to call and invite eg. the members of the parliament. I like the fact that he alternated between calling them and chatting with me :-)
Take a look! It's mostly in English.

Ibland känns dessa ord ofrånkomligt relevanta. Ofrånkomligt väldigt relevanta.
