READ! #HINACDay2024 GLOBAL STATEMENT

On this HIV Is Not A Crime Awareness Day, we call upon governments, policymakers, advocates, healthcare providers, and communities worldwide to take action!

Today, February 28th, the HIV JUSTICE WORLDWIDE coalition commemorate #HIV is Not A Crime Awareness Day, as a Global Awareness Day for the first time, under the theme: “You care about ending HIV criminalisation, you just don’t know it yet”.

HIV Is Not A Crime Awareness Day was launched in the US two years ago by HIV JUSTICE WORLDWIDE founding partner, @TheSeroProject, in collaboration with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (@ETAForg).

We invite you to stand with us in solidarity and action as we strive to eliminate the unjust criminalisation of people based on their HIV-positive status.

UNAIDS supported the supervisors and data collectors training for Stigma Index. The overall objective of this survey is to determine manifestations of stigma, discrimination and human rights violations against PLHIV in the Kingdom of Eswatini.

@CraigueRose thank you for supporting #YPLHIV and the whole #PLHIV community in Eswatini and rising above the very difficult ground you found as a woman leader #HatsOff #LetWomenLead

Have we stepped back in time? This new bill contravenes established international and regional human rights standards. We must continue to fight for equality, equity and the fundamental rights of all people. We stand in solidarity with the #LGBTQ community.

UNAIDS urges the gov't of Uganda to not enact a harmful law that threatens public health.

“If enacted, this law will undermine 🇺🇬’s efforts to end AIDS, by violating fundamental human rights incl. the right to health & the right to life" - @anneshongwe

Passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill will set Uganda back in the fight against #HIV and #AIDS

To end #AIDS ALL who need prevention, testing or treatment services shd get them. Discrimination & stigma drive people away. #RejectTheAntiGayBill
