For Diversity. Against Discrimination.
The European Commission is running a five-year pan-European information campaign on combating discrimination on the grounds of racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, age, disability and sexual orientation. The campaign 'For Diversity. Against Discrimination.' teamed up with MTV Networks Europe to broadcast a new TV ad that features the three winning photographs, amongst others, of a pan-European photo competition to promote diversity in work and society in general . The campaign aims to provide information about new EU rules against discrimination through a wide range of channels and to communicate a positive message on diversity and equality. The European Commission is currently working on a new initiative with MTV to mark the 2007 European Year of Equal Opportunities for All.
AIDS remember me?
740,000 people in the EU today have HIV/AIDS. One in three is unaware they have it. There is a rise of new infections in the EU and neighbouring countries. An EU survey reveals that in Europe less and less people know how the disease is transmitted and take the necessary precautions. Condoms are the best way to protect against HIV as well as other sexually-transmitted diseases such as herpes and condylomas. HIV is transmitted via mucus, wounds, used syringes and bodily fluids. Of these bodily fluids only 5 carry the disease from one person to another: blood, sperm, pre-seminal male secretions, vaginal secretions, and mother's milk.

For a smoke-free Europe
More info: http://ec.europa.eu./avservices/video...
Nine out of ten Europeans would like smoke-free offices and public places, according to the latest EU survey on tobacco. But in spite of this vast and united front against smoking, 15% of deaths in Europe are still smoke related. The EU is therefore stepping into the lead in the fight against tobacco. A key element in the campaign is Help: for a life without tobacco, one of the largest public health awareness initiatives ever launched.
