It is really depressing figures that UNICEF presents, nothing less than 1,800 children are daily infected with the AIDS virus, to this figure we must add the 1,400 children under 15 who die daily at the hands of HIV-related diseases, but these are only a small part of a harsh reality that encompasses more than we might imagine.
A new campaign has been launched to raise awareness and involve the population, under the slogan "United for children, united against AIDS" is intended to reach all social strata, all people to react and contribute to in order to improve the situation of children. AIDS especially plagues third world countries, those countries whose population has numerous problems to face day to day. In our opinion, campaigns are necessary, but we believe that it would be more interesting to raise awareness of those who can really do something, for example, we put in place some laboratories responsible for developing the necessary medication to treat the fatal disease.
Until not long ago, the treatment had a high cost and this could not be paid by a third world inhabitant, in an act, say solidarity, the cost for the most needy was reduced, but when you have nothing, even a price that could be ridiculous for us is high for them. The treatment should be free and provided to anyone who needs it.
It is urgent to take measures, not only against the disease, but with everything that surrounds it, sometimes it is the parents of the children who suffer from it and when they die, the child is orphaned, helpless, at the mercy of the unscrupulous and the who practice child exploitation.
Returning to the topic, the new campaign aims to carry out adequate prevention so that mothers do not transmit HIV to their children, protect and support those children who are already suffering from the disease, grant the necessary pediatric care and prevent infection and spread among adolescents through sex education and the necessary preventive systems.
