Alliance News: Time to tackle stigma

Alliance news: Time to tackle stigma (English) 172.0Kb
This issue of Alliance News focuses on the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. The overview describes how stigma can lead to silence and denial, reinforcing ignorance, fear, prejudice and risky behaviour. Altantsetseg Batsukh, Program Manager at the National AIDS Foundation, Mongolia, tells how Mongolian sex workers are tackling stigma and discrimination. Another article, “Overcoming stigma”, provides strategies drawn from Alliance field programme experience, such as providing community-based programmes that empower marginalised communities, involving people living with HIV/AIDS, and taking policy measures.
