Reduction Of Stigma And Discrimination Of PLHIV And TB

To actively reduced stigma and discrimination for people living with HIV & TB, advocating equal treatment and social justice.

• This program was specifically focussing on Fisantekraal as a community to address the issue of Stigma and Discrimination.
• Stigma and discrimination impact negatively on HIV prevention and treatment and must be addressed as it is a barrier to the increase and uptake of health services.
• We facilitated community dialogues which resulted in a steering committee being formed and thereby action plans implemented.
• SDR support groups were facilitated that empowered community members to speak about matters pertaining to stigma and discrimination.
• We were able to network with relevant stakeholders to bring much needed services to the community through Jamborees and community awareness events.
