Many lights for human rights

Many of the rights we have won recently were only possible by the efforts made during the early days of the HIV epidemic. However, even in 2010, our community and those affected by HIV, are still impacted by discrimination.

Many Lights for Human Rights

To honour the memories of those we have lost and those who have fought so hard for the rights and wellbeing of people affected by HIV, the AIDS Action Council is inviting you to participate in the 27th International Candlelight Memorial.

The AIDS Action Council is joined this year by Amnesty International. Both organisations are working together to demand dignity and human rights for communities affected by HIV.
