立法委員侯水盛等37人連署，於立法院本次會期提起「後天免疫缺乏症候群防治條例第六條之一及第十七條條文修正草案」，侯委員等37人建議刪除原條文第一項後段、第二項全文、以及第三項全文，亦即，原條文「感染人類免疫缺乏病毒者之人格與合法權益應受尊重與保障，不得予以歧視，拒絕其就學、就醫、就業或與其他不公平之待遇。未經感染人類免疫缺乏病毒者同意，不得對其錄音、錄影或攝影。中央衛生主管機關對於感染人類免疫缺乏病毒者所從事之工作，為避免其傳染於人，得予必要之限制。」對於侯水盛委員的提案，我們深感憤怒，發起連署與正式召開記者會之外，我們亦將前進立法院，向衛生環境與社會福利委員會各黨成員表達我們的訴求！ ⊙…

More than twenty years later, finally some progress! It’s about time. Permanent residents and foreign residents under 18 would be added to the HIV treatment subsidy program, Centers for Disease Control Director-General Philip Lo (羅一鈞) said today, with the measure expected to be implemented as earl…

A letter from my friend who works at the AIDS Rights Organization: 愛滋感染者權益促進會聲明人權有保障愛滋防治才能有效

But since they’re standing firm in staunch support of the nation’s vice president, they’ll probably be commended. What is it that she thinks again? AIDS is a punishment from god? And its brought to Taiwan by foreigners. Therefore foreigners are gods!

You forgot one, Sandman … she also thinks that people with HIV/AIDS should all be quarantined in an “AIDS village” or somesuch place … :unamused: And she’s another supposed “progressive” (since we’re playing semantics games) politician who has fought all of her life for human rights causes.

Semantics is important because you were not using the right terminology. But none of you are addressing my point at all: what evidence do you have that the executive branch is supporting this amendment? The constant use of “DPP government” fails to distinguish the fact that these are legislators and…

Okay! So far you’ve got a point. But so has LittleBuddhaTW in pointing out that ‘Human Rights’ in Taiwan is often a matter of posturing rather than reality. The rights of unpopular minorities have not often been effectively improved under the DPP government. The more general point is the amazing f…

I agree that the quality of the legislators is a problem, but the very fact that they even have to conceal their idiotic comment behind lofty words or retract them when their intention are exposed shows that there is at least an awareness that is developing among the populace on these matters as to…

That’s a good point. However, since the ostensible foundation of the DPPs mission is the democratisation of Taiwan society it is disappointing to see how little has actually changed in terms of the public discourse. This will ultimately damage both them and Taiwan will fail to achieve the social co…

At least, Nelson Mandela is highly respected. His son Makgatho Mandela makes public the cause of his death and challenges the taboo surrounding HIV/Aids in Africa.

Political parties in Taiwan tend to keep a tighter rein on their members than do political parties in some Western countries. Hence, when you have such a large number of DPP legislators (was it 39, I think?), and based on the reports from the Chinese media re: Annette “Hunchback” Lu, I think it’s a …

As a matter of interest – and this is a genuine question – can anyone think of a significant improvement that the DPP have made to the human rights situation in this country since they got power, where: [ul]They have implemented the policy instead of merely ‘flying a flag for it’ and The policy wa…
