The Global Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (GNP+)
GNP+ has an overall goal to improve the quality of life of people living
with HIV/ AIDS by:
Lobbying: creating the opportunity to bring the many voices of the epidemic to
appropriate and relevant platforms;
Linking: linking people with HIV/AIDS with each other, as well as with other
organizations;
Sharing: creating opportunities for people living with HIV/AIDS to gather to work
together.
GNP+ has adopted a Global Advocacy Agenda, committing its energy to:
- expanding access to treatment and care;
- ending stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS;
- delivering on the greater involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS
in HIV-related decision-making.
GNP+ works in the 6 regions of the world: Africa, Asia/Pacific, Europe,
Latin America, the Caribbean and North America. Each region has its own priorities
and programs.
The International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (ICW)
ICW is an international network run by and for HIV positive women.
ICW was founded in Amsterdam in 1992 in response to the desperate
lack of support and information available to HIV positive women worldwide.
ICW:
- Reaches out to HIV positive women around the world
- Unites HIV positive women around the issues that affect us all
- Ensures that HIV positive women are visible and that all our voices are heard
- Acts as an information resource
- Challenges discrimination, stigma and abuses of HIV positive women's rights
- Encourages self-empowerment and self-sufficiency
The International Council of AIDS Service Organizations
ICASO is the International Council of AIDS Service Organizations, a global network
of non-governmental and community-based organizations. ICASO is composed of 5
secretariats in each geographical region, and a central secretariat in Canada.
ICASO's mission is to mobilize communities and their organizations to participate in
the response to HIV/AIDS; articulate and advocate the needs and concerns of
communities and their organizations; ensure that CBOs, particularly those with
fewer resources and within affected communities, are strengthened in their work to
prevent HIV infection, and to provide treatment, care and support for people living
with and affected by HIV/AIDS; promote the greater involvement of people living
with, and affected by, HIV/AIDS in all aspects of prevention, treatment, care and
support, and research; and promote human rights in the development and
implementation of policies and programs responding to all aspects of HIV/AIDS.
