Intergenerational Storytelling about HIV Stigma & Building Positive Communities
13:25 - 14:10 EST
The "HDAW" session will bring together three seasoned activists who have experienced the challenges of stigma, including HIV and other cultural stereotypes, from the late 1980s to the present day. This intergenerational dialogue will provide an opportunity for youth to engage directly with these experienced individuals, hearing first-hand stories and the relationships between generations in the fight against prejudice and stigma.
