Religión
In the following section you will find information on campaigning activity from faith groups at an international, regional and national level.
¿Por qué es importante el liderazgo desde el sector religioso?
Probablemente más que cualquier otro tipo de institución, las organizaciones basadas en la fe se encuentran en cada comunidad y tocan las vidas cotidianas de miles de millones de personas en todo el mundo. Se acude a líderes religiosos a nivel local, nacional e internacional para recibir orientación espiritual, emocional y práctica, apoyo y esperanza. Ésta es una gran responsabilidad, que debe ser asumida humildemente pero con convicción y compromiso por la verdad, como también con una visión de armonía y justicia para todas las personas del mundo.
Existen ejemplos obvios de líderes religiosos cuyas palabras y acciones influyen en miles, si no en millones, de seguidores. Muchas organizaciones religiosas han hecho declaraciones acerca de su respuesta al VIH y al SIDA. También han abogado firmemente por poner fin de la discriminación; proveer de acceso a tratamiento y cuidados a toda la gente; alentar un financiamiento sostenible y suficiente para la respuesta global; promover la prevención y abordar las causas fundamentales de las vulnerabilidades, en particular las de mujeres, niñas y niños.
Muchos líderes religiosos, comunidades y personas de fe han hecho compromisos y promesas, y reconocen que éstos deben ser cumplidos; por ejemplo :
- Erradicar el estigma y la discriminación, además de promover la dignidad y los derechos de las personas que viven con VIH o SIDA y otras que se ven afectadas por la epidemia.
- Promover actividades de prevención del VIH y del SIDA que aborden las causas fundamentales de la vulnerabilidad, con particular atención a mujeres, niñas y niños.
- Movilizar un financiamiento suficiente y sostenido a fin de lograr el acceso universal a prevención, tratamiento, atención y apoyo.
- Llevar las palabras a la acción y establecer objetivos claros y transparentes para llamarnos mutuamente a la responsabilidad en nuestros esfuerzos por detener la propagación del VIH y erradicar el SIDA de nuestro mundo.
