FUTURE PROJECTS
“DOES HIV LOOK LIKE ME?” CANADA CAMPAIGN
The DOES HIV LOOK LIKE ME? International Campaigns facilitate the empowerment of people living with HIV, AIDS around the world to share their stories and take action. The campaign Ambassadors—people living with HIV or AIDS, are wanting to make a difference, they are future human rights leaders standing up to fight misconception, stigma and inequality.
The DOES HIV LOOK LIKE ME? campaign production in each country begins with a three day leadership training. The training provides a diverse group of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A) the space for open dialogue, tools to develop messaging, learn advocacy skills and the opportunity for peer-to-peer sharing of experiences, support and empowerment. The leadership training culminates with a debriefing conversation outlining next steps and desired messaging for the in-country campaign with the ambassadors, the Does HIV Look Like Me? International staff and the in country coordinators.
With the ambassadors vision and objectives are solidified the DOES HIV LOOK LIKE ME? campaign production begins, including video interviews with ambassadors, production of a high impact print campaign, ambassador registration in the DOES HIV LOOK LIKE ME? online community, and partner representation on the international DOES HIV LOOK LIKE ME? website. The campaign is produced with a diverse group of local YPLHIV/A, who are identified, recruited and supported by local partners. The Ambassadors’ ownership over the campaign ensures its sustainability and its relevance in both specific country contexts and internationally. Each Ambassador will receive a small grant to invest into their community projects, these projects will be planned during the three day training.
