TV3 Broadcast Journalist, Juliet Bawuah, has signed up to the UNAIDS'
'Protect the Goal' campaign.
She took her turn on Wednesday, joining a number of well-meaning
Ghanaians to pledge their commitment to the campaign, which seeks to
among other things, to ensure an HIV-AIDS free society.
"I am happy I did this; HIV AIDS affects millions of people across the
world," she said. It needs our attention and support, which is why I
find the PTG worth supporting."
The Protect the Goal (PtG) is a joint campaign between UNAIDS and the
world football governing body, FIFA, to advocate for the prevention of
HIV infection through sports.
In Ghana, the campaign is being done jointly by the UNAIDS office, the
Ghana Football Association, and the National Youth Authority.
The campaign illustrates the power of protection and fosters HIV
prevention and treatment in preparations for the 2014 World Cup in
Brazil.
It also aims to raise awareness of HIV, mobilizing young people to
commit to its prevention.
