Today marks the 30th annual World AIDS Day
It is an international day of remembrance and support for those people who have lost their lives to, and for those people living with, HIV/AIDS

We are proud to have been supporting an important new work by Devize Co this past month that aims to change the narrative that HIV is just a ‘gay virus,’ and includes stories of heterosexual women and men.

STIGMA is a confronting and dynamic live theatre and movement performance, examining the prejudices, discrimination and stigma experienced by people living with HIV.
www.devizeco.com/stigma/

STIGMA will be performed at Hume Bank Butter Factory Theatre, Wodonga on Saturday 8 December, 2018 at 7.30pm

Please support the many events happening all over Australia today
