HIV Consortium for Partnerships in Asia and the Pacific

The HIV Consortium for Partnerships in Asia and the Pacific is a collaboration of nine Australian HIV organisations formed to foster strategic partnerships and linkages between Australia and the Asia and Pacific regions. 

The organisations who are members of the HIV Consortium seek to develop long-term relationships with counterpart organisations. In collaboration with our partners the HIV Consortium supports skills building, organisational strengthening and leadership development. Our activities aim to recognise and identify existing capacity, and to build on this collaboratively through a partnership approach.

The HIV Consortium is implementing the Regional HIV Capacity Building Program funded by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). The purpose of the Program is to foster strategic partnerships and linkages between Australian and the Asia-Pacific region to increase the capacity of partners in the healthcare, research and community sectors to contribute to effective HIV responses.

Thai Queer Resources Centre

Thailand is home to some of Asia's, and the world's, oldest and largest gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) communities. Since the 1970s, this country's diverse GLBT communities have produced a wide range of publications including periodicals and magazines, newsletters, information booklets, as well as advertising material and ephemera related to the many homosexual and kathoey-themed movies, TV programs, stage plays, songs, and popular culture events. While only produced in recent decades, these materials are in danger of becoming destroyed and disappearing completely in the next few years. Because of cultural sensitivities and anti-homosexual bias, established institutions have not considered these materials "worthy" of collection and preservation. There is currently no public archive of GLBT publications and materials anywhere in the world. The Thai Queer Resources Centre aims to collect resources in order to establish such an archive.

International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS

The International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (ICW), a registered UK charity, is the only international network run for and by HIV women. ICW was founded in response to the desperate lack of support, information and services available to women living with HIV worldwide and the need for these women to have influence and input on policy development.

 

ICW was formed by a group of HIV positive women from many different countries attending the 8th International Conference on AIDS held in Amsterdam in July 1992. HIV positive women shared stories and strategies for coping and devised action plans for the future. An important achievement at this first ICW pre-conference was drawing up the "Twelve Statements". These statements relate to the issues and needs facing all women living with HIV worldwide and form the basis of the organization's philosophy. During this meeting, the women agreed that they did not want to lose this momentum and ICW was created.
