Conversely, in countries with legal protection and the protection of human rights for these people, many more have access to services. As a result, there are fewer infections, less demand for antiretroviral treatment and fewer deaths. Not only is it unethical not to protect these groups; it makes no sense from a health perspective. It hurts all of us.” Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, August 2008 UNAIDS Action Framework: Universal Access for Men who Have Sex with Men and Transgender People, 1 2009 1 UNAIDS Action Framework: Universal Access for Men who Have Sex with Men and Transgender People.

  • Sharp Family Papers, 1845-2002
    PRELIMINARY INVENTORY K0553 (KA1218, KA2214, KA2222) SHARP FAMILY PAPERS, 1845-2002 This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri Research Center- Kansas City. If you would like more information, please contact us at shsofmo- [email protected]. Introduction Approximately 26.5 cubic feet, oversize Personal correspondence, financial records, scrapbooks, slides, photographs, and records of the Sharp and Wells family of Kansas City, Missouri, and Johnson County, Kansas. The initial collection contained personal correspondence, scrapbooks, slides, photographs, and records of Hazel Wells Sharp (1910-2002). A 1932 graduate of the University of Kansas, Ms. Sharp was an educator in the Kansas City area for 40 years. She earned her Master’s degree in education in 1946. Sharp also taught in the Wiesbaden American Schools in Germany for 8 years with the United States Army. She traveled extensively and amassed a large collection of slides. Also included in this collection are photographs, negatives and slides of the Sharp family and friends; property tax receipts (1853-1883); a farm ledger (1902-1921); various records relating to the Wells family; and correspondence of the Sharp family. Subsequent donations focus primarily on the Perry M. Sharp family. Included are bank statements and receipts (1912-1963), calendars covering 1941-1994, slides (1945-1973), photographs, photograph albums (1891-2002), correspondence (c. 1940s), and scrapbooks (1945-1980s). The presence of the Sharp family in the Kansas City area dates to ca.1856 when Tillman B. Sharp (1806-1889) moved his wife, Demarious Stewart (1814-?) and two of their nine children to Washington Township, ½ mile east of New Santa Fe, Jackson County, Missouri.
