Summary: The training manual aims to tackle stigma at a
local level. It is a practical tool introducing
rights in an accessible format, with basic
information on HIV/AIDS, why it is a human
rights issue and common human rights issues
for People Living With AIDS.
The training manual “HIV/AIDS Stigma and Human Rights: A Resource
Manual for NGOs, Community Groups and Persons Living With AIDS” is
based on the findings of a recent research project carried out in South
Africa. The purpose of the Tswelopele Project was to understand the
manifestation of stigma and the resulting human rights violations
associated with HIV/AIDS in a local community setting. The manual is the
product of collaborative research between the South Africa Programme at
the NCHR and the Centre for the Study of AIDS, University of Pretoria.
The training manual aims to tackle stigma at a local level. It is a practical
tool introducing rights in an accessible format, with basic information on
HIV/AIDS, why it is a human rights issue and common human rights issues
for People Living With AIDS.
The manual has already formed the basis of a four day workshop with
community members and home-based carers for People Living With AIDS.
Other workshops are to take place with health care workers, police, local
government and social clubs in the area.
