Frameworks and visions that seek to strengthen efforts to address stigma must resonate within the broader programmatic approaches and commitments to achieving the societal enablers targets and improving / informing programmes and advocacy. Looking forward – addressing stigma alone is not enough, and addressing HIV-related stigma in isolation is not enough. The inclusion of commitments toward eliminating HIV-related stigma and discrimination within the Political Declaration agreed at the 2021 United Nations High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS for the first time also signals a conducive global political environment for action at scale. Findings from the IAS ~ Lancet Commission on Health and Human Rights will also be presented to explore attention to stigma within a human rights context. The session concludes with a call to action to join the online discussion about stigma at #AIDS2022 and add your voice to get to the #heartofstigma.
