Stigma has had entire societies in a stranglehold for decades, making it harder to take real steps forward when it comes to HIV prevention and care. Stigma creates fear. Since churches have the unique ability to influence the far reaches of society, they also have the responsibility to advocate responsibly.
CUAHA advocates for increased participation of churches to focus on rights based approach and full integration of people living with HIV, which is vital in the promotion and advancement of the rights of all people.
