Six settings

As eliminating all forms of HIV-related stigma and discrimination is fundamental to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and targets by 2030, including ending AIDS, the Global Partnership aims to catalyse and accelerate the implementation of commitments to end HIV-related stigma and discrimination in six settings: 

  1. Health care.
  2. Education.
  3. The workplace.
  4. Legal and justices systems.
  5. Individuals, households and communities.
  6. Emergency and humanitarian settings.

Programmes and commitments to eliminate HIV-related stigma and discrimination focus on the populations being left behind, including, but not limited to, people living with HIV, key populations (gay men and other men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people, people who use drugs and people in prisons and other closed settings), indigenous populations, migrants and women and girls, particularly adolescent girls and young women.
