THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Religious groups from around the globe pledged Tuesday to prevent the stigmatization of people living with HIV and AIDS, in a joint statement welcomed by a senior U.N. official as a sea change in attitudes.
Representatives from about 40 religions and faith groups — including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism — ended a two-day retreat in the Netherlands by signing a “personal commitment to action” in which they vowed to “be clear in my words and actions that stigma and discrimination toward people living with or affected by HIV is unacceptable.”
