Subject: WAC's advocacy resource on HIV and the World of Work
Dear all,
I am pleased to share with you the World AIDS Campaign’s advocacy resource on HIV and the World of Work, a very useful resource for campaigners to make full use of the ILO Recommendation 200 as an advocacy tool. Please consider sharing this with your networks and helping us to promote it widely. A short introduction is provided below:
In June 2010, the International Labour Organization (ILO) adopted Recommendation 200 concerning HIV and AIDS and the World of Work which aims to guide governments, organisations of employers and workers, public and private enterprises, employers and workers to promote healthy workplaces, by defining their roles and responsibilities at all levels of policy and decision-making processes, implementation, and evaluation of programmes on HIV and AIDS in the workplace.
The HIV pandemic is more than solely a health concern. HIV has a major impact on human rights, local economies, social progress, national development and economic sustainability. The effects of HIV and AIDS are concentrated in the most productive age group (15-49 years), and people living with HIV and AIDS often face challenges from stigma and discrimination in all spheres of the world of work – as jobseekers and applicants, as workers in formal and informal workplaces, and as laid off and suspended workers.
This advocacy toolkit highlights key aspects of Recommendation 200 and presents an overview of how it can be used as an advocacy tool by all constituencies.
With regards,
Natalie Siniora
