Advocate
Goal: The ELCA will join others in civil society in seeking to ensure that governments and corporations do their part to achieve the goals of the wider human community:
- To halt the spread of HIV through effective prevention, treatment, and care.
- To eliminate the stigma and discrimination experienced by those who are HIV-positive.
- To reduce the conditions of poverty and marginalization that contribute to the spread of HIV.
