ABOUT US
We are a network of lawyers and PLWHA from around the Pacific Islands region.
Our vision is:
A Pacific Islands region where policies and legislation are sensitive to HIV/AIDS-related issues and where the rights of those infected and affected by the virus are protected and defended.
Our aims are:
- To assess, review, and to suggest amendments to existing policy & legislation across and in each of the Pacific Islands at all social, political and economic levels. (government, companies, organizations, local communities, schools, etc…).
- To ensure that rights of those infected and affected by the virus are protected/defended.
- To empower positive Pacific Islanders to become HIV and human rights advocates and trainers.
- To carry out research to document human rights violations of PLWHAs in the Pacific Islands.
Achievement of aims:
The legal and human rights taskforce (LHRTF) currently has three projects:
- The legal advice service, which provides free legal advice to PLWHA
- The advocacy and research team, which carries out research on discrimination against PLWHA and uses this research to advocate for change
- The legal literacy working group, which is working to produce brochures, fact sheets and discussion papers on HIV, human rights and the law
To find out more about any of these projects, or how you can get involved in them, please contact us.
