Drawing on data to promote human rights and reduce HIV-related stigma and discrimination

The IAS Heart of Stigma programme, in partnership with the People Living with HIV Stigma Index, is organizing a webinar, “Drawing on data to promote human rights and reduce HIV-related stigma and discrimination”. It is the third in the “Shifting mindsets” webinar series on stigma. The series aims to personalize data through human stories, illustrating what research findings on stigma and discrimination mean in the real world for people living with HIV. The webinar will take place on Wednesday, 11 September, 14:00-15:00 (CEST). Live interpretation in French and Arabic will be available.

The panellists will focus on the challenges and benefits of documenting stigma-driven discrimination and outline the policy and advocacy interventions needed to reduce stigma, with the goal to ensure the dignity and equality of all people, regardless of their health status.
