The Global Partnership to Eliminate All Forms of HIV-related Stigma and Discrimination has identified six settings where stigma and discrimination are still posing significant barriers to HIV. "Addressing stigma and discrimination is central to the Global AIDS Strategy and its 10-10-10 targets on societal enablers," said Simone Salome, Human Rights Advisor for UNAIDS and Global Partnership Lead.
The Global Partnership has prioritised and is supporting efforts to reduce internal stigma over the next few years.
"It is time to see beyond stigma, to see what is possible in a world of self-love, self-worth - let's stop using deficit-based language and reframe our efforts" said Nadine.
