Ribbon Rouge Foundation Ribbon Rouge: Achieving Health Equity between African, Caribbean, Black (ACB) people and those who are not African, Caribbean, Black

The Ribbon Rouge Foundation serves African, Caribbean and Black people in Alberta, by facilitating systems change, in structural and social factors that lead to poorer health outcomes, including HIV related health outcomes in African, Caribbean, Black communities. While supporting local emerging talents in the arts, fashion and music, we wield the intrinsic power of the arts to change perceptions,

stir social conscience, educate the public and create positive change globally. We achieve this by holding events that support local Edmonton talent in fine arts, music, and fashion. MANDATE

🚨 ALERT: Manitoba has declared a public health emergency due to a sharp rise in HIV cases across the province.

Here’s what’s happening:

• HIV cases in Manitoba have more than tripled in recent years
• The rise is being linked to intravenous drug use and unprotected s*x
• Indigenous communities, women, and people in rural and northern areas are being disproportionately affected
• Limited access to healthcare, stigma, poverty, and lack of education/resources are contributing to the growing crisis
• Recent reports also include babies being born with HIV through perinatal transmission

Preventive measures matter more than ever:
✔️ Get tested regularly
✔️ Practice safe s*x
✔️ Use clean needles/safe harm reduction services
✔️ Seek early treatment and support
✔️ Educate yourself and others
✔️ Fight stigma with compassion, not judgment

HIV is treatable, and early diagnosis can save lives. Awareness, prevention, and community support are essential. ❤️
