Criminalization laws do not work in ending HIV. What works is ensuring we have testing, treatment and care for all.
- Immaculate Owomugisha at #IASHeartofStigma webinar, “Ending #HIV criminalization – lessons from Zimbabwe”
"The very broad coalition explaining the messages coherently (rooted in science) got the public on its side"
- Alison Symington at #IASHeartofStigma webinar, “Ending #HIV criminalization – lessons from #Zimbabwe”
"#Zimbabwe has reached its 95-95-95 goal. Just by decriminalizing we have opened a floodgate where people are no longer afraid to get tested"
- Ruth Labode at #IASHeartofStigma & @hivjustice.net webinar, “Ending #HIV criminalization – lessons from Zimbabwe”
Great video showing how Zimbabwe decriminalised HIV, including community engagement, public sensitisation, parliamentary advocacy, and, most importantly, the participation of people living with HIV.
