Self-Assessment Checklist: Stigma and Discrimination

The Code identifies four key principles of stigma and discrimination:
• We enable PLHIV and affected communities to understand their rights and respond to discrimination and its consequences.
• We monitor and respond to systemic discrimination.
• We enable communities to understand and address HIV-related stigma.
• We foster partnerships with human rights institutions, legal services and unions to promote and protect the human rights of PLHIV and affected communities.

This self-assessment checklist will help you assess the degree to which your organisation is successfully implementing these principles. The questions are designed to be thinking points/guidelines to help you identify areas that are already at a ‘good practice’ level, and areas that need to be developed and strengthened.
