*September 7, 2017*

Federal, provincial and territorial justice ministers from across the
country are meeting in mid-September, and the issue of HIV criminalization
is on their agenda.

Join the Canadian Coalition to Reform HIV Criminalization (CCRHC
<http://www.aidslaw.ca/site/canadian-coalition-to-reform-hiv-criminalization/?lang=>)
in sending a message to the ministers that action is needed to address the
unjust, overly broad use of the criminal law in cases of alleged HIV
non-disclosure.

Last year, on December 1, World AIDS Day, Canada’s Minister of Justice and
Attorney General of Canada made a historic statement of concern about the
overly broad use of the criminal law in Canada, acknowledging that “the
over-criminalization of HIV non-disclosure discourages many individuals
from being tested and seeking treatment, and further stigmatizes those
living with HIV or AIDS.” Isn’t it time that governments in Canada heeded
the federal justice minister’s words and limited unjust prosecutions of
people living with HIV?

Your message will be sent to the federal Minister of Justice and Attorney
General of Canada, the Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, and the 13
provincial and territorial justice ministers.

hashtag #HIVcrim.

Together, we can make a difference.

*7 septembre 2017*

Les ministres de la Justice du Canada et des provinces et territoires se
réunissent à la mi-septembre et le problème de la criminalisation du VIH
figure à leur ordre du jour.

Joignez-vous à la Coalition canadienne pour réformer la criminalisation du
VIH (CCRCV
<http://www.aidslaw.ca/site/canadian-coalition-to-reform-hiv-criminalization/?lang=&lang=fr>)
pour communiquer aux ministres le message que des actions sont nécessaires
pour répondre au recours injuste et excessivement large au droit criminel
dans des affaires relatives à des allégations de non-divulgation du VIH.

L’an dernier, le 1er décembre, Journée mondiale du sida, la ministre de la
Justice et procureure générale du Canada a fait une déclaration historique
exprimant son inquiétude devant le recours excessivement large au droit
criminel, au Canada, reconnaissant que « la criminalisation
disproportionnée de la non-divulgation de la séropositivité décourage bon
nombre de personnes de passer des tests de dépistage et de se faire
traiter, et stigmatise davantage les personnes vivant avec le VIH ou le
sida ». N’est-il pas temps que les gouvernements, au Canada, donnent suite
aux paroles de la ministre fédérale de la Justice et limitent les
poursuites injustes à l’encontre des personnes vivant avec le VIH?
