“What Can Parliamentarians Do to End Aids?” That was the question surrounding a forum hosted today by the Pan Caribbean Partnership Against HIV/Aids and the National Aids Commission in Belize at the Ramada Belize City Princess. Since 2013, there have been consultations with parliamentarians within the region to develop PANCAP’s Justice for All Programme. Its aim is to promote activities which eliminate stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV and to uphold the human rights and dignity of all. The event had parliamentarians from both political parties as well as social partners from the Senate. Speaker of the House, Laura Longsworth, is also the Chair of the National Aids Commission and she says that it is an opportunity to plan the way forward to end HIV/Aids by 2030.
