2. Background
• People living with HIV continue to report stigma
and discrimination.
• Despite having some legal protection many
people living with HIV do not feel safe to disclose.
• This burden takes a high toll on health, well being
and capacity to participate in community life.
3. Anti-stigma campaigns to date
• infrequent
• dependent on an emotional, empathic response
(your sister, your brother, your colleague etc.)
• little community participation
• little educative component
• limited applicability beyond the gay community
4. High Court Justice Michael Kirby identified;
“AIDS is a paradox.The best way to fight HIV, and to
command the minds of those who are most at risk, is
to win their trust and confidence by laws and polices
that protect their rights and uphold their human
dignity”.
M Kirby “HIV/AIDS: Anger, Hope and Love” in Through the World’s
Eye (2000) pp82

communities
• Ran as a national campaign in 2000 – 2001

26. "The way I see it, stigma and
discrimination are far more dangerous
than HIV/AIDS. Fortunately though
(and unlike HIV/AIDS)(yet) there's a
cure for that - education and basic
human decency. So lets all get
educated, be respectful and work
together to fight the virus and not
each other."
- Aram, Perth WA
27. "Empower ourselves by learning more and taking care of
ourselves and each other.“ - Zoe, Perth WA
28. “Be brave, be
accepting, become wise.
Learn all you can. Meet
the challenge with
knowledge and
compassion., not
ignorance and fear”
- Steve, Perth WA
29. “Promote education in our community.”
- HIV Community Educators, Metropolitan Migrant Resource Centre
