WACC to work with Ghana's faith leaders against HIV stigma

The Toronto-based World Association for Christian Communication has embarked on a three-year project with the Christian Council of Ghana to combat the stigma of HIV/AIDS by using techniques such as theatre, music, dance and community radio, reports Ecumenical News International.

"Many in the faith community fail to speak out, which has made the AIDS situation worse," Julienne Munyaneza, WACC's programme manager for HIV and ecumenical relations, said in a statement posted on the communications agency's Web site.

The project intends to promote a range of communication strategies and tools. These will include theatre, music, dance, sport, competitions, community radio and television, as well as sermons, reflections, storytelling and testimonies.
