Our Statement of Solidarity

with GIPA/MIPA

We, people living with HIV/AIDS and allies in the community:

  • Commit to the greater involvement and meaningful engagement of people living with HIV/AIDS (GIPA/MIPA);  GIPA/MIPA puts PHA’s at the center and is grounded in human rights and the dignity of the full human being
  • Aim to transform all who live with , work in, and are affected by, HIV/AIDS in Ontario
  • Commit to personal and social transformation
  • Value community expertise in embracing the challenge for the betterment of society
  • Value inclusion over exclusion, a quest for integrity at all times and the embodiment of self-determination
  • Promote the evolution of thought, action and collaboration among us and with our allies because GIPA/MIPA is about human struggles and aspirations, ethics, empowerment and accountability are its foundation

We acknowledge that Greater involvement of people with HIV/AIDS (GIPA) is never achieved once and for all; it is a goal and commitment that must be continually renewed.  GIPA is a practice, not a project, and is similar to all other accountabilities of healthy HIV organizing and service delivery.  Our practices in AIDS service organizations (ASOs) must be continually re-evaluated in light of the changing realities of HIV/AIDS and of those living with it.
