NACO must develop a charter of responsibilities

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

It is true that we cannot claim or talk about rights without also simultaneously

talking about responsibilities. In the case of MSM Rights this is something that

I have individually and we as an organisation have always emphasised. I

therefore totally endorse Suresh Raman’s views on this. Re: CM Mayavati suspends

Maybe one of the things that NACO can do is develop a charter of

responsibilities in consultation with community groups, concerned parties like

health care providers, and technical experts, which should then become part of

any dissemination/education process on HIV. Also this can be of use in

protecting service providers, in case they are implicated as a consequence of

irresponsible behavior of the service seeker.

Best regards,
