Salma Hayek joins the many other celebrity advocates to support both World AIDS Day and Nelson Mandela’s 46664 charity, in search of awareness and a cure for the AIDS epidemic. She speaks with t5m about some startling statistics and how we must join together to fight the devastating effects of AIDS.
‘Over 30 countries say that the stigma and discrimination against people living with AIDS still lives on. And indeed continues to spread almost like the disease itself.’
Battling further discrimination against the millions of people living with the disease is a main objective in Nelson Mandela’s 46664 campaign.
“In a world that is divided along many lines, we now have a unique opportunity to bring us all together around a common challenge”, Mandela said. “In ensuring that the millions of people who are infected and affected by HIV and Aids are not forgotten, we will not only make a difference to their lives, we will also make a difference to our lives as well. We owe this at least to humanity.” - Nelson Mandela
