Mrs Hellen Arthur Honesty, Chief Executive Officer of Facilitating Learning of Women in Emerging Regions (FLOWER), a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) has called on Ghanaians to stop stigmatizing against people with AIDS.
She said stigmatization prevents people from checking their health status which was hampering the fight against HIV and AIDS.
Mrs. Honesty made the call when her NGO organized a programme on; “Stigmatization Against HIV/AIDS Patients” to create awareness on the issue.
She entreated Ghanaians to join hands with the FLOWER to help reduce HIV infections and stigmatization against people with AIDS.
Mrs. Honesty advised the citizenry to regularly go for medical diagnosis and comply with the use of condoms.
FLOWER aims at embarking on strategies for women empowerment and teenagers’ education and health improvement.
Barima Ofosu-Ware III, Chief of Osenase, expressed gratitude to the NGO for the awareness and admonished the youth in the area to avoid early sex and rather take their education seriously.
