2010 NGO Report: Survey on Stigma and Discrimination

Every year the NGO delegation informs the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board of issues that reflect the unique health and HIV needs of grassroots communities. These are contained in a formal NGO report that the delegation submits to the Board.

During March-April 2010, the NGO Delegation conducted an online survey to solicit input from communities all regions of the world. This survey was aimed at understanding how stigma and discrimination impede meaningful public health responses on the ground. Released at the June 2010 PCB, this report is now available for five regions and the global summary in 7 languages. Click here to access these.
