The 2011 UNITY Global Fellows Project
June 14th, 2011
I’ve completed a program with UNITY Journalists of Color, Inc. and its Global Reporting Fellowship. The assignment was to cover the United Nation’s High Level Meeting on AIDS from June 7 through June 10. The meeting was considered to be the most important to take place in recent years around AIDS issues, where world leaders took stock of global response, 30 years since the first recorded case.
A selection of my stories from the project:
Sexual violence against women, girls targeted (published 6/8/11)
For U.S. AIDS activist, stigma is biggest barrier for the HIV-positive (published 6/9/11)
Michel Sidibe, driving global battle against AIDS (with Laura Figueroa, published 6/10/11)
A photo essay on the U.N. flags can be viewed in the posting below.
