Understanding and challenging HIV Stigma: Toolkit for action
|
HIV- related Stigma has long been recognised as a barrier to prevention, care and treatment, yet there are few tools available to support trainers and community leaders to begin to tackle this problem.
The Toolkit was developed from a two year research project on stigma which took place in Zambia, Tanzania and Ethiopia. Tools were developed with the involvement of over 50 NGOs from the three countries who developed exercises, shared stories and experiences and tested some of the tools. It contains over 100 participatory exercises which can be adapted to fit different target groups and contexts. There are different sets of picture codes which help to identify stigma, discuss the rights of PLHAs and help to stimulate discussions around gender, sexuality and morality issues which link to stigma. |
