Full #Emancipation comes when ALL our people ~including those Living with #HIV ~ enjoy the same protections that allow them to be integrated in every fibre of our society.

Let's challenge ourselves today to #endstigmaanddiscrimination

A new day has dawned
It's another chance to be our very best selves and give others an equal opportunity to do the same.

Happy New Year!

Faith leaders,

The Crisis Centre offers support to persons in abusive relationships and is an excellent referral agency for both men and women.

No religious doctrine should cause a person to be subjected to any form of abuse.

There is #noexcuseforabuse.

There are countless volunteers in the HIV response, but many remain faceless for fear of stigma and discrimination.

We salute and encourage you to stay committed to the cause to #endHIV.

Ask yourself this👇question the next time you hear the number of People Living with #HIV and who continue to contract the virus.

#40YearsOfHIV #endstigmaanddiscrimination

[Faith Against HIV Stigma @FaithHIVStigma]

When we take time to educate ourselves about HIV & AIDS, we are better able to protect ourselves from contracting the virus, and stigma and discrimination become a thing of the past.

Understanding the difference between HIV and AIDS is the first step in responding to the epidemic, as faith leaders in the western end of the island learned last weekend in another session on HIV and gender-based violence.
