As part of a series of initiatives to mark World AIDS Day in Jordan, the ILO will hold two seminars in Amman (December 11) and Aqaba (December 13) on "HIV and AIDS and the World of Work in Jordan: Challenges and workplace action in the tourism sector".

The objective is to promote dialogue on HIV/AIDS and to raise awareness amongst government, employer and worker representatives on HIV/AIDS policies and programmes in the workplace, social protection and combatting HIV-related discrimination.

The tourism sector has been identified by the Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Health to pilot the National Policy on HIV and AIDS and World of Work.

Jordan World AIDS Day campaign 2012 is the first initiative organized by the Technical Committee on HIV and AIDS and World of Work, a multi-sectoral taskforce established by the Ministry of Labour for policy implementation and monitoring.

The campaign will reach an estimated 100 government, employer, worker and civil society representatives including people living with HIV.
