- About these links
The Global Partnership on HIV and Mobile Workers in the Maritime Sector was launched earlier this year. We asked some of the partner organisations what role unions could play in the fight against HIV/AIDS ...
Dani Appave, ILO senior maritime specialist
“Unions have different roles. They can assist members to reduce risk. They can provide counselling and facilitation of access. They can do advocacy work.
HIV/AIDs work should be a main role, not just at policy level but also at the shop floor, to provide services to members. At the ILO, we see a definite role for ITF and workers.”
Emmanuel Nepomuceno, Associated Marine Officers’ Union of the Philippines (AMOSUP)
“There are a lot of programmes, but also a lot of barriers. It’s about changing behaviour and values. This is not a disease of one person. It’s the whole family or community who are affected. Seafarers must realise this, and unions can play a role in communicating this.”
Natalie Shaw, secretary, International Shipping Federation
“Unions have a role in education. If information comes from an employer, it’s like a teacher telling a pupil. The more parties involved in spreading the message, the better.”
Nebojša Nikolić, president, International Maritime Health Association
“Our past experience in HIV/AIDS prevention projects taught us that a holistic approach – bringing together agencies, unions, educators and a mix of skillsets – was needed.”
Rosilyne Borland, IOM Migration Health Office
“Mobile workers, such as seafarers, are at increased risk. They don’t always have the information and the tools to protect themselves and their families.
Unions can be the voice of seafarers. It’s important that the information is relevant and useful. The primary role of unions in the group is to help facilitate direct access to seafarers.”
The Global Partnership on HIV and Mobile Workers in the Maritime Sector is made up of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the ITF, the International Committee on Seafarers’ Welfare, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Maritime Health Association, the International Shipping Federation and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS. IOM provides the secretariat for the new Global Partnership at its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
