Introduction :
We
celebrate the World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day every year on 8th May
the birthday of it’s founder Henry Dunant. World Red Cross Day is an
annual global event marked by the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
In New Mexico, thousands of local school children wearing red shirts and banding together to form the world's largest outline of a red cross. San Francisco's legal community is taking part in a seminar on human rights law co-hosted by a representative. And around the world, millions of Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers are continuing to help refugees, educate young people about
HIV and AIDS, and attempt to join up family members separated by war, just as they do every other day of the year.
Australian Red Cross joins in the worldwide call by Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies urging governments to step up their efforts to combat stigma and discrimination associated with
HIV and AIDS.
