Dear Forum,

/message/11368

I just have a one liner to say about this.

I think this is an atrocious doing that too by an NGO. I also work in this field

for ages and am ashamed by this request.

We in the NGO sector talk so much about reducing " Stigma & Discrimination "

 

Where is it all gone now as far as this NGO is concerned ? ?

Dear All,

Re: /message/11368

This would be against the fundamental rights of an individual who wish to travel

anywhere in the world for foreigner and Indian national as well regardless of

their HIV status. Putting an embargo on travelling by HIV positive person

wouldn't solve and reduce the transmission of HIV

 

Rather than insisting the govt. to take up an unsympateic policy to control

spreading of HIV, it would be appropriate to sentisize the sex worker community

to stay away from any risky behaviour during the course of common wealth game in

India.

 

Imagine if different countries across the world started taking up this

indifferent step than the situation will become aggravate and twist the endless

efforts of thouands of AIDS activist to create an enabling environment for many

years.And also it would be  a shame for our nation who is proud of her status of

world largest democracy.

Dear Forum,

Re: /message/11368

I will not waste anyone's time by repeating that what is being demanded by Mr

Bhola and company is absurd and atrocious.

Instead I have a demand of my own. That NACO Clarifies if Mr Bhola and

company receives any sate funding to carry on their activities, and if yes, then

given this wonderful display of their 'GIPA' sensibilities, not to speak of

their " Rights based approach " to things, should such funding be continued?

Also whether there should not be an independent probe about what

has been done with that funding so far (The nature of M & E etc.) to have raised

the sensitivity of Mr Bhola and Company to such perfect levels.

I know silence is golden, but I would really like to have a response from NACO

in this.

Best,

Dear all,

Re: /message/11368

Who is supporting this NGO to work with high risk groups in Delhi?

This is a shameful example of discrimination and must be condemned by NACO and

the actual donor giving this NGO money for HIV AIDS prevention work.
