Could same-sex relations be decriminalised in Namibia?
Hopes that a High Court ruling next month will overturn the colonial-era sodomy law and decriminalise gay sex.

Uncle Harvey, who would have been 94 today, wrote these words 50 years ago on how he hoped to be remembered. He exceeded his hopes, not just for his memory, but for all us to live authentic and open lives all across the globe. Thank you Uncle Harvey! Happy Birthday #harveymilkday

The stigma that people with HIV face is founded on ignorance and fear.
Challenge it, combat it, end it.

Great to hear that the Government has agreed to pay out interim compensation to survivors of the #InfectedBloodScandal - but so many years have been wasted and lives lost before we got to this point.
We were calling for such payments 2 years ago - even then it was long overdue.

“My life, no matter how hard it is, I will bear it on my own. If anyone asks, I just keep silent. That’s all.”
How stigma impacts the lives and wellbeing of Vietnamese women living with HIV.

If you’ve been moved / appalled by yesterday’s damning report on the #InfectedBlood scandal, which led to the deaths of 1,000s, I recommend getting insight from Mark Antony Ward (Mark Antony Ward), who faced down his childhood HIV diagnosis with a determination to live fabulously.

Moving tribute to Colin John Smith, one of 1000s who died due to the Infected Blood Scandal.
Colin’s short life was marred by the stigma that, then and now, surrounds HIV. His home had ‘AIDS dead’ graffitied onto it.
It’s time to #MakeStigmaHistory .
