In mid-March, EPN’s Advocacy and Policy advisor Rev. Jane Nganga participated at a consultative meeting on Strategic Engagement of the Faith Sector with Migrants, Refugees and other Displaced Populations for Increased Access to Health and HIV services held in Geneva, Switzerland. The workshop sought to give light to the importance of dignified health for all.

The meeting was organized by the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC), in collaboration with the UNAIDS – PEPFAR Faith Initiative, the World Council of Churches, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

During one of the sessions, Rev. Ng’ang’a addressed partners on the examples of good practices and advocacy interventions by FBOs to prevent and eliminate stigma and discrimination among migrants, refugees and other displaced populations at risk of and living with HIV.
