Human rights, justice and policy

Criminalisation, stigma and fear of arrest or violence drive key populations away from health care and justice. When rights are violated, few cases are documented or resolved, so the conditions that fuel HIV continue.

• Strengthen community organisations to document violations and advocate with evidence.
• Build legal literacy, so people know their rights and how to seek redress.
• Engage duty bearers, from health facilities to state and national policy makers.
• Challenge harmful norms and misinformation through grassroots education.
