HIV Justice Network
Openbaar bestuur
A global information and advocacy hub connecting individuals and organisations working to end HIV criminalisation.
Over ons
The HIV Justice Network (HJN) is a global information and advocacy hub for individuals and organisations working to end the inappropriate use of the criminal law to regulate and punish people living with HIV. HJN’s vision is a world where the sexual, reproductive and working lives of people living with HIV are no longer unjustly regulated or controlled, so that people living with HIV are able to live fulfilling and long lives in dignity. Our mission is to support individuals, communities and organisations to effectively advocate against criminal and similar laws, policies and practices that unjustly regulate, control and punish people living with HIV, based on their HIV-positive status. HJN has three main objectives: 1. To monitor international developments regarding criminal and similar laws, policies and practices that unjustly regulate, control and punish people living with HIV based on their HIV-positive status, as well as the global advocacy movement against this ‘HIV criminalisation’. 2. To connect local, national, regional and global stakeholders, sharing information and resources to allow for targeted research and discussion of key issues, and identification of best practice models. 3. To create practical resources to enable advocacy, empowerment and challenge through persuasive and pragmatic policy development and effective communication strategies. This will result in advocates who are better informed, empowered and connected and, therefore, more able to challenge and influence decision-makers in order to: repeal or modernise unjust laws; ensure that any use of existing laws is limited and fairly applied; and present alternatives to a punitive, regulatory approach that benefits both public health and human rights.

Today on #HumanRightsDay, International Community of Women Living with HIV (ICW Global), ARASA, HJN and SALC stand united to denounce punitive responses to people living with HIV who breast/chestfeed or comfort nurse. These practices are unjust, harmful, and violate fundamental human rights. 🔗 Read our joint statement: https://lnkd.in/ehaNsDnv

Our Executive Director, Edwin J Bernard, will be working on his 62nd birthday, ensuring that we fulfil our mission to build a co-ordinated, effective global response to end punitive laws and policies that impact people living with HIV in all our diversities. https://lnkd.in/eFrcqFJ5
🎉 **Edwin’s Birthday Fundraiser for the HIV Justice Network** 🎉 On 26th September, I’ll be celebrating my 62nd birthday, a milestone that holds special meaning for me after living with HIV for 41 years. This year, instead of gifts, I’m asking for donations to the HIV Justice Network, an organisation I’ve dedicated my life to leading. I’ll be marking the day in Sitges, Spain, as we prepare for our first in-person HIV Justice Network / HIV JUSTICE WORLDWIDE strategy meeting since we met in Amsterdam in 2020. I’ll be surrounded by passionate advocates and my incredible partner, Nicholas Feustel. The HIV Justice Network fights against the stigma, discrimination, and criminalisation faced by people living with HIV globally. Our mission is to ensure no-one is punished because of their HIV status. I’m proud to continue leading this important work, but we need your support to keep pushing forward. If you’d like to celebrate with me, please consider donating—no matter how small. Every contribution will help us in our fight for justice and equality for people living with HIV. And if you do donate, I’d love to hear why! Please share your thoughts in the comments or on the Donor Wall. Your words mean just as much as your support. Thank you for helping me make this birthday one to remember! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ejsvRPPF

Meet HJN at AIDS 2024 Starting this coming weekend, and continuing until Friday 26th, seven HJN team members will join an estimated 15,000 participants at the 25th International AIDS Conference in Munich to advocate for the rights and health equity of people living with HIV globally. We are grateful to our scholarship providers and funders for making it possible for so many of us to attend AIDS 2024. We are mindful of the many individuals who have been unjustly denied visas to enter Germany and know we are privileged to be able to attend in person. We'll do our very best to make sure that everyone's voices are heard, both at our sessions and at others'. If you are also fortunate enough to be in Munich, please come and say hello, and tell us about your work and how we might support each other in the global struggle for HIV justice.
