Discrimination and Human Rights.

discrimination impacts on prevention messages and examines a more promising way
forward for government and non-government organisations to counter discrimination
and human rights violations; one that is driven from the community and informed
by people's experiences.

Pacific Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS GIPA Position Paper
GIPA
means the Greater Involvement of People with HIV/AIDS, and derives from a principle
embedded in the Paris AIDS Summit Declaration of 1994. At this summit, leaders
of 42 nations met together to determine how they could effectively respond to
the AIDS crisis.
The Declaration, signed by all nations attending the meeting,
acknowledged the central role of people living with HIV (positive people) in AIDS
education and care, and in the design and implementation of national and international
policies and programs, in order to successfully tackle HIV/AIDS. It also acknowledged
that, for positive people to take on a greater role in the response, they need
increased support.
This document written by APN+ members addresses the
issue of positive people's involvement in the response to HIV/AIDS and gives pratical
examples of GIPA activities and some of the challenges that PLWHA groups face.
