Y+ Project
Y Plus Beauty Pageant
The Y+ Beauty pageant is a unique model campaign promoting beauty with “Zero Discrimination” fighting stigma and discrimination against young people living and affected with HIV. The pageant takes place annually and builds a brand of Y+ ambassadors to re-echo their voices and change the perception that comes with living with HIV and AIDS. The Y+ model turns-around stigma into pride to promote inclusiveness and acceptability of HIV+ persons in society and focuses on beauty and not on the challenges the young people living with HIV face. It creates a platform of learning and showing communities their (inner) beauty and therefore enabling YPLHIV to become champions in the fight against stigma and discrimination.
All YPLHIV that take part in the Y+ Beauty Pageant Campaign are referred to as Ambassadors of Change right from the national/regional auditions. After the 3 months campaign, the ambassadors are commissioned to participate in different activities like; community dialogues, national celebrations like World AIDS Day in their communities and on national level to front different issues that affect their fellow YPLHIV.
