We decided to create TABOO based on many reasons. Firstly, we wanted a project of
our own image, that shows the effort put on this work throughout these two years.
Secondly, we decided to show world something different, that can transform
people’s point of view, by promoting equality, starting with HIV patients. Thirdly, we
created this magazine because we wanted to support HIV which is a disease left
behind, also to show these patients that they are not alone. Lastly, we decided to
defend HIV patients basing on human rights. As we discovered from long hours of
deep investigation, that HIV patients have been treated through all these years
unfairly by people who discriminates them. We want to show the world they are
human beings who deserve equal treatment and respect. In order to accomplish our
goal, we have been studying deeply the topic since 11th grade and with the help of
our adviser Tahia Lorenzo, TABOO was born. To develop this idea, we decided to work
with the students from 11th and mostly 12th grade, which are the ones who are most
exposed to this disease and we tried to make a change beginning with them.
Hopefully this project that shows a big effort and hard work can cause people to
evolve and start respecting HIV patients and their rights.
