What We Do
HP+ is implementing comprehensive approaches to reduce stigma and discrimination, leading groundbreaking research and initiatives to create globally standardized tools and indicators for measuring and addressing stigma in health facilities. Specifically, HP+ is working with country partners to:
- Improve national reporting and monitoring of discrimination in Ghana and Jamaica
- Design and implement gender and sexual diversity training for PEPFAR staff in 38 countries
- Study the impact of stigma and discrimination on access and adherence to care for adolescents, pregnant women, and sex workers
- Design and test a package of stigma-reduction tools for health facilities
- Adapt our “total facility approach” to stigma-reduction for use in concentrated and generalized epidemic settings
- Integrate an additional focus on stigma towards adolescents and young adults (ages 15-24)
