In Africa, a step backward on human rights - Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu
Hate has no place in the house of God. No one should be excluded from our love, our compassion or our concern because of race or gender, faith or ethnicity -- or because of their sexual orientation. Nor should anyone be excluded from health care on any of these grounds. In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same
God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights. We knew this was wrong. Thankfully, the world supported us in our struggle for freedom and dignity.

The Ugandan Government should show leadership on HIV prevention and the protection of human rights by rejecting the anti-homosexuality bill which has been tabled in the Ugandan parliament. Acknowledging the existence of gay and lesbian people in Uganda, and providing supportive measures to assist men and women in same sex relationships to make informed choices in their sexual health (i) is the only responsible way forward in the HIV prevention (ii) urge the AIDS and Rights Alliance for Southern Africa (ARASA), the AIDS Law Project, South Africa (ALP), the Global Network of People living with HIV (GNP+) and the International Network of Religious Leaders living with and affected by HIV (INERELA+).

Statement from our Patron, His Grace, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu
Facing one of the biggest challenges either the world or faith communities have faced demands a unique approach. HIV is running away with us because we have tried all the old responses to something that exposes our weaknesses rather than our strength. The only long term approach to HIV interventions that can be effective is working with rather than for people living with HIV today.
