The voice of a survivor: World AIDS Day and 16 days of activism

"I am 22 years old. I have one baby boy, who is 6 years old. Some people don't understand what life really is, but I understand it clearly. Life is about what you know and what you want and what you want to do to get the things you want. In life you experience many things, including painful things. And if you experience painful things you mostly gain and learn a lot. I feel so sorry for people who haven't experienced any pain, because they get hurt easily and by small things." This is part of a life story published on the website of the Centre for Civil Society at the University of Natal to mark the 16 Days of Activism against violence against women and children and World AIDS Day.
