From UN agencies to community leaders and scientists to Ministers of Health, there is widespread acknowledgment that to end AIDS we need to reduce HIV stigma and discrimination. Communities living with or affected by HIV continue to report the varied and persistent stigma they face in their homes, in workplaces and in health care facilities. Activists have raised this right from the start and have been providing the evidence. And after decades of working on the HIV response communities working in partnership with others know what works to change behaviors and to change policies and laws. This session led by community networks aims to inspire and mobilise stronger collective actions to reduce HIV stigma in different settings across our countries. We want to end stigma and discrimination and we want justice – will you join us?
