Speaking at a fundraising dinner
held November 16 at the House of Angostura in Laventille, Dale Enoch, chairman
of the Caribbean Action Resource (Care) declared that while there had been some
progress in treatment and access to medication for those with HIV/AIDS living
in Trinidad and Tobago, the battle against discrimination continues.
Enoch went on to say that for the
past 23 years Care has excelled in the areas of community outreach and
nationwide education about safer sex, stigma, and discrimination against those
who live with HIV/AIDS. T
he gathering included the Minister
of State Rodger Samuel, and Enoch chastised Samuel for what Care views as the
state’s lethargic approach to initiatives such as the National HIV/AIDS
Strategic Plan and the National Workplace Policy, which Care has contributed
to.
