About International Indigenous Working Group on HIV/AIDS

It is important to note that many Indigenous and Aboriginal People throughout the world continue to fall behind in receiving universal access to prevention, care, treatment and support; a goal set by world leaders for 2010. HIV/AIDS is disproportionately distributed across global populations, as it hits hardest in areas where structural, economic, and development challenges are greatest and it is especially evident within the Indigenous populations.

International Indigenous and Aboriginal Leaders Gather to Discuss HIV/AIDS Issues (Vancouver, BC Oct 30th, 2009)

The 5th International Policy Dialogue on HIV/AIDS and Indigenous Persons held in Ottawa was attended by Indigenous Peoples from New Zealand, Chile, Australia, Guatemala, United States, Brazil and Canada; the delegates overwhelmingly supported the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network to lead the International Indigenous HIV/AIDS Working Group.

Objectives of the IIWGHA:

1)      increase the integration of HIV/AIDS and Indigenous peoples at the International level;

2)      improve meaningful inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in research policy and program development;

3)      ensure Indigenous Peoples are more accurately represented in HIV/AIDS epidemiological data;

4)      increase support for capacity development to integrate HIV/AIDS and Indigenous Peoples;

5)      Develop an Indigenous specific approach to the social determinants of health; and

6)      ensure that Indigenous and Aboriginal HIV/AIDS issues are presented at the International Conference on HIV/AIDS in Vienna and beyond.

“The 5th International Policy Dialogue on HIV/AIDS and Indigenous Persons has provided an opportunity to support Indigenous Peoples in the knowledge exchange of cultural projects and programs in Aboriginal communities in Canada. We take pride in taking a leadership role in this initiative” - Ken Clement CEO of the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network.
