The Next Aids Generation: Orphans In Asia And The World

Wednesday, May 12, 2004
6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. (Reception follows)
Asia Society, 725 Park Avenue, New York City

A panel discussion and multimedia exhibition, co-sponsored by the Asia
Society and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, on the challenges facing children
orphaned by AIDS and what must be done to save them.

Panel speakers include:

Countess Albina du Boisrouvray, Founder, François-Xavier Bagnoud
Association (FXBA)
Peter McDermott, Chief, Global HIV/AIDS Program, UNICEF
David Gartner, Policy Director, Global AIDS Alliance
Chung To, Founder and Chairperson, Chi Heng Foundation
Nafis Sadik, UN Special Envoy on AIDS in Asia
Steven Wang, Founder President, China AIDS Orphan Fund

AIDS has already orphaned 14 million children worldwide, a number that is
expected to exceed 25 million in less than six years. Unless decisive
action is taken in regions and countries, such as China and India, where
the epidemic is spiralling out of control, the lives and futures of their
children are at risk. Without a coordinated response, this generation of
children may face the staggering hardships currently experienced by
children in some countries in Africa, where more than 1 in 5 children will
be orphaned by 2010 and where more than 80 percent of children have lost
one or both parents to AIDS.

AIDS has already orphaned 14 million children worldwide, a number that is
expected to exceed 25 million in less than six years. Unless decisive action is
taken in regions and countries, such as China and India, where the epidemic is
spiraling out of control, the lives and futures of their children are at risk.
Without a coordinated response, this generation of children may face the
staggering hardships currently experienced by children in some countries in
Africa, where more than 1 in 5 children will be orphaned by 2010, the vast
majority having been orphaned by HIV/AIDS.



Please join the Asia Society and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for a discussion on
how individuals, international organizations, and governments are responding to
the challenges and needs presented by this growing population, and what more
must be done to keep their parents alive, ensure that they stay in school, l and
protect them from exploitation and abuse.
