Unravelling the Dynamics of HIV/AIDS-related Stigma and Discrimination: The Role of Community-based Research (2004)
This ACORD publication documents research that explores both the causes and effects of HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination in Northern Uganda and Burundi. The research, which was carried out by ACORD programmes in collaboration with local communities, has provided stark and disturbing evidence of the systematic abuse and scandalous violation of the rights of PHLAs and their families and carers in both countries. The research process that was coordinated by ACORD in both countries has helped to raise awareness of the issue within the community and prompted a strong response among community members and the local leadership. The research has highlighted the critical importance of participatory community-based research in catalysing local level action and has underscored the need for a comprehensive response to address this complex issue. This must include, but not be limited to the adoption of legislation to establish and protect the rights of PLHA and be backed up by a wide range of other measures, including the provision of accurate, unbiased information and a radical rethink of the design and delivery of humanitarian programmes targeting PLHAs.

The publication, currently available in English, will soon be available in French and Portuguese as well. To order hard copies, contact: Angelah@acord.org.uk
