<strong>Blame</strong> and <strong>Banishment</strong>: The underground HIV epidemic affecting children in Eastern Europe and Central Asia<br />
“<br />
To live without hope is to cease to live.<br />
”<br />
F. M. Dostoevsky<br />
Fyodor Mikhaylovitch Dostoevsky (1821–1881), Russian novelist, author of Crime and<br />
Punishment, Notes from the Underground, and many other masterpieces. His work often<br />
described the lives of those who were outcast from society.<br />
This report is dedicated to children living with HIV in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and<br />
to all those trying to make a difference in children’s lives. Fragments of some of their stories<br />
are told in this report, but many more of their stories remain untold, hidden or silenced.<br />
Some of the children featured in the stories and photographs are no longer alive.<br />
This report is dedicated to their memory.<br />
UNICEF hopes that this report may help bring a ray of light into the lives of those children<br />
and families still with us.<br />
