Rights and Responses to Discrimination
We enable PLHIV and affected communities to understand their rights and respond to discrimination and its consequences.
Individuals and communities must be able to name their experience as one of discrimination, understand their rights and have sufficient information and resources in order to take action in response to any discrimination they experience.
We need to provide PLHIV and affected communities with:
- easily accessible information about their rights
- advice and support to take action in response to discrimination, through individual advocacy services or effective referral to agencies that can provide them, such as human rights organisations, legal services and unions, and
- support in responding to and addressing the consequences of discrimination, including peer support, counselling, discussion groups and effective referral to housing, employment and related services.
