People Living with HIV leading anti- discriminatory responses: The experiences from The Zambian Network of PLHIV (NZP+) Kenly Sikwese, NZP+ UNAIDS PCB Geneva, 23 June 2010

Evidence gathering methodologies for advocacy by and for PLHIV The PLHIV Stigma Index The Human rights count! Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights - focusing on adolescents living with HIV The GIPA Report Card, The Global Criminalisation Scan

Overall findings 4 of 5 PLHIV experience stigma and discrimination from others Internalized stigma ‘afflicts’ 9 out of 10 Zambian PLHIV Workplace is one of the main settings where human rights violations, stigma and discrimination against PLHIV occur SRHR of adolescents living with HIV are not well served, and face high levels of stigma (service providers and community) Greater Involvement of People Living with HIV (GIPA) is hampered by stigma and low skills levels of PLHIV

Why these finding both confirm and surprise us Results are nothing new – but the extent and depth and breadth was a big surprise Generalized epidemic has not lead to a normalization in the way PLHIV are treated or feel Extreme incidence of both external (80%) and internal (91%) stigma – with higher incidence in rural areas PLHIV with tertiary or higher education experience high levels of stigma and discrimination (entering workforce?) Between 60% (urban) and 90% (rural) excluded from religious activities in the last 12 months due to HIV status People older than 50 Denial to formal education lowest reported stigma

Rights here! Right Now! 48% who reported as having experienced stigma did not know where to go to get help Low level of awareness on support – human rights organisations, police, social services and legal protection, UN or CSOs working to support PLHIV, including the networks of PLHIV.

Stigma reduction programmes, including rural areas Stigma reduction strategies for health care providers the place of work – from policy to action places of worship  EMPOWERMENT OF PLHIV! Self esteem and self-worth, quality of life Leading the response and effecting change Rights here! Right Now!

Thank you to all the PLHIV who shared their stories
