According to INERELA+ it is “an international, interfaith network of religious leaders – both lay and ordained, women and men – who are living with or personally affected by HIV. It is universally recognized that religious leaders have a unique authority that plays a central role in providing moral and ethical guidance within their communities; indeed their public opinions can influence entire nations. INERELA+ looks to empower its members to use their positions within their faith communities in a way that breaks silence, challenges stigma and provides delivery of evidenced-based prevention, care, and treatment services.”
INERELA’s mission statement is To equip, empower and engage religious leaders living with and personally affected by HIV to live positively and openly as agents of hope and change in and beyond their faith communities.
