Body And Soul Campaign
EDM number 2086 in 2005-06, proposed by Neil Gerrard on 03/05/2006.
That this House welcomes the Body and Soul, a smile is a gift, campaign, which aims to challenge the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV from a positive and empowering platform; is concerned that the rate of infections continues to rise in the United Kingdom with a 14 per cent. increase in 2004; acknowledges that all communities have a part to play in tackling HIV stigma and discrimination, with on average a hundred people in each parliamentary constituency living with HIV; and calls on the Government to honour its commitment to involving those affected by HIV in the policy-making process by consulting young people from Body and Soul's Teen Spirit group on how stigma and discrimination affects this particularly vulnerable and disenfranchised group.
This motion has been signed by a total of 81 MPs.
