Every December, we acknowledge World AIDS Day — a time to reflect on how HIV/AIDS has affected us, and the work that is needed to put an end to the virus.
The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network released a briefing paper, “Action Required,” outlining steps the Canadian government needs to take in order to better address HIV. It points to five key areas that need to be addressed federally in order to meet the goal of ending HIV. Daily Xtra has published a condensed version below, but you can read the full paper here.
شبکه حقوقی اچ آی وی و ایدز در کانادا به مناسبت روزجهانی ایدز در دسامبر 2015 میلادی مقاله ای را منتشر می کند. در این مقاله به پنج راهی که کشور کانادا می تواند به اچ آی وی و ایدز در سراسر جهان پایان دهد اشاره کرده است.
1 – احیا کردن تاثیرات دولت به موضوع اچ آی وی 2 – ترویج برنامه کاهش آسیب و اصلاحات در سیاست مواد مخدر 3 – دفاع از حقوق بشر در رابطه با دگرباشان جنسی، در داخل کانادا و در سطح جهان 4 – حفاظت از حقوق کارگران جنسی 5 – ترویج دسترسی به داروهای آنتی روترویرال (ضد ویروسی).

It is time for Canada to re-commit to the global project of ending HIV, including by basing our response on sound scientific evidence and fundamental human rights principles. There are immediate actions Canada’s federal government can and should take. We have identified the five priority issues — and associated government actions — to ensure a federal response to HIV that is effective because it is evidence-based and respects and promotes the human rights of all constituents.
