More about Taking Boxing to the Next Level
Stigma and discrimination happen because there is a gap of information/knowledge. In HIV/AIDS and drugs, stigma often comes because lack of awareness. This lack of awareness is due to very little interactions that happen between the society and the community of people living with HIV/AIDS and drugs.
Through boxing, we provide a forum where people, regardless of their background, whether they are HIV positive, drug users, university students, professionals, unemployed, homeless, living rough, etc.
Through boxing, we provide a more intimate interaction, where participants can share and practice together. This has enabled us to provide them with the accurate information of HIV/AIDS and drugs, introduce them to people who are living with HIV.
Through this meaningful engagement of the society and the community of HIV and drugs, we have made a strong group of ambassadors who will spread the message of our global campaign, Indonesia without stigma.
