Delhi: A Festival on Understanding Rights, Sexuality, Health and HIV. 15 and 16 February, 2009.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

The Youth Parliament (YP) Foundation and the Centre for Human Progress (CHP) are

organising Project 19 - A Festival on

Understanding Rights, Sexuality, Health and HIV, at the India

Habitat Center, New Delhi on 15 and 16 February, 2009. This is being organised

with support from NACO, UN partners and other stakeholders in the HIV response.

The festival brings together nearly 600 young people from across the country

including sexual minorities, IDU, positive networks, truck drivers, migrant

groups, and youth groups. It will be a platform to talk about their issues, find

linkages and to find innovative solutions. Detailed programme and other details

about organisers can be had from the URL:

The festival aims to facilitate interaction between young people and at-risk

communities around issues of sexuality, health, HIV and human rights. By using

forms of expression, including theatre, music, art, photography and film, the

festival creates a space to promote empowerment, generate dialogue, and build

sustainable networking opportunities for young people and at-risk communities.

It is a powerful platform for national level networking between youth groups and

also a unique opportunity for mainstreaming.

I request you to make this event a huge success and make use of the opportunity.

Thanks and regards,

Dr. Nalin Mehta,

Communications Advisor,

UNAIDS, A2/35 Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi, India-110029.
