LAGOS, Nov 8 2006 (IPS) – When I go home, I often notice that as soon as I come, all the towels, soaps and sponges that were in the bathroom will disappear, says Isaiah Ojeabulu. He chairs the Human Rights Association of Persons Affected by Leprosy, an organisation in Nigeria, and has himself suffered from leprosy.
Ojeabulu has similar tales from his earlier years. He says discrimination against him started from the moment that he contracted leprosy, a year before he finished secondary school, developing a leg ulcer that attracted flies.
All my friends deserted me. I felt a sense of loneliness because the other students would move to another part of the classroom. The shame would sometimes force me to leave the classroom, he told IPS.

If you tally this up you have close to six million infant deaths from either being stillborn or complications from being premature. That s worse than HIV and TB [tuberculosis] combined, Dr. Cra…

(the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS), an estimated 270,000 people were living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in 2012.
“It is true that the Arab region has a low prevalence of infection, however it has the fastest growing epidemic in the world,“ warns Dr Khadija Moalla, an independent consultant on human rights/gender/civil society/HIV-AIDS.With the exception of Somalia and Djibouti, the [HIV] epidemic is generally concentrated in …

UNITED NATIONS, May 13 2015 (IPS) – Virtually every major international conference concludes with a “programme of action” (PoA) – described in U.N. jargon as “an outcome document” – preceded by a political declaration where 193 member states religiously pledge to honour their commitments.
But over 620 non-governmental organisations (NGOs), a hefty coalition of mostly international water activists, are complaining that a proposed political declaration for the U.N.’s post-2015 devel…
