WATCH is grateful for the many community members, activists, & researchers who have tirelessly & passionately challenged Canada's current legal approach to HIV non-disclosure! We're pleased to see evidence of their work in the Justice Committee's report: https://t.co/4qEELybcPE
"Sex 2" - the revised prosecution guidelines for HIV nondisclosure cases in BC - disregard evidence and lived experiences & will continue to harm individual & public health. Send this postcard to your MLA, @Dave_Eby, @jjhorgan, @bcndp & share across your networks! #HIVisNotACrime
Réclamons des changements a la loi qui criminalise la non-divulgation du VIH, informés par la communauté et l’évidence scientifique - envoyez cette carte à votre député @MaryamMonsef, @GinettePT, @DavidLametti, @JustinTrudeau, & partagez avec votre réseau! #VIHCrim @AIDSLAW
The overly broad criminalization of HIV non-disclosure in BC (re)produces uncertainty, fear, stigma, and violence; we cannot ignore the danger that condom negotiation & HIV disclosure pose for #WLWH. Share this postcard w. your MLA, @Dave_Eby, @jjhorgan, & @bcndp. #HIVisNotaCrime
Si le Canada veut être un chef de file mondial des droits des femmes, il doit s'attaquer à la violence et à la peur des femmes criminalisées par la loi pour non-divulgation du VIH au Canada. Envoyez cette carte à votre député, @MaryamMonsef, @JusticeCanadaFR, & @PMcanadien. #VIH
If Canada has committed to gender equality & women's rights globally, we must address the violence & fear experienced by #WLWH from the criminalization of HIV non-disclosure in Canada. Share this postcard with your MP, @MaryamMonsef, @MinJusticeEn, & @CanadianPM. #HIVisNotAcrime

HIV-related stigma is entrenched in the criminal justice system and enacted by those in positions of power in their treatment of women living with HIV as ‘weapons’: https://t.co/TBzJydRuKo #HIVisNotACrime
