What People Living With and Affected by HIV Want From Their Faith Leaders Reflections and Data On Stigma Experienced by Faith Communities in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Zambia
Poster (A3 size): International AIDS Conference, Washington DC, USA. 2012
Stigma is still one of the greatest barriers for people living with and affected by HIV accessing services and engaging in economic and social-wellbeing initiatives. This pilot study, across 3 countries (Ethiopia, Kenya and Zambia), explores the stigma experienced in faith communities to inform evidence-based stigma reduction strategies to be developed and implemented by faith leaders in partnership with PLHIV.
There is rich data which will guide the next stages of the project, however the process has been as important as the initial results; within these dioceses the issue (sometimes unspoken) is now part of the faith community discourse and by taking part in the initiative a breakthrough has occurred.
