Church Focuses on HIV Discrimination on International Women's Day
The King's House Family Church in Edmonton will tackle HIV-related stigma and discrimination as it takes the lead today in the celebration of International Women's Day.
The non-denominational family church believes faith communities have a crucial role in promoting health and wellbeing and is bringing together members of the north London community to share information about HIV.
"Faith communities cannot afford to ignore the reality of HIV anymore," said senior pastor at King's House, Rev Tony Peters. "So the time has come for us to play a unique role in informing communities, reducing stigma and in bringing comfort and hope to people living with HIV all around us".
