Description

"WHY THIS TOOLKIT MATTERS
Words Are Tools That Have The Power To Destroy Stigma
Words evolve into the language we use to communicate. Language can be used to create spaces where
people feel safe, comfortable, and supported including through personal and difficult conversations.
Language is a powerful tool in disrupting bias and stigma as well as facilitating healing.
It is important to eliminate HIV stigma because when people are afraid of experiencing discrimination
they are less likely to be tested or treated for HIV. Additionally, treating individuals living with HIV
differently can negatively affect their ability to secure life’s necessities like housing, employment, medical
care, and necessary social support." (p. 1)

National Black Justice Coalition (NBJV):
"Since 2003, NBJC has been America’s leading national civil rights organization dedicated to the empowerment of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer+, and same gender loving (LGBTQ+/SGL) people, including people living with HIV/AIDS through coalition building, federal policy change, research, and education. Our mission is to end racism, homophobia, and LGBTQ+/SGL bias and stigma. Now known as the National Black Justice Collective, NBJC supports Black individuals, families, and communities in strengthening the bonds and bridging the gaps between the movements for racial justice and LGBTQ+/SGL equity. We envision a world where all people are fully empowered to participate safely, openly, and honestly in family, faith, and community, regardless of race, class, gender identity, or sexual orientation." https://nbjc.org/

Description

"This toolkit is designed for trans and gender diverse activists who may
be targeted by individual or organizational attacks from the anti-gender
movement. GATE has compiled recommendations on how to respond to such
attacks. As local leaders, you know your communities best, so we recommend
that these guidelines be carefully considered within the bigger picture of
your work and filtered through your unique expertise. These guidelines are
tried and tested, grounded in human psychology, and can be adapted to local
contexts to be culturally responsive." (p. 3)

"GATE is an international advocacy organization working towards justice and
equality for trans, gender diverse, and intersex (TGDI) communities. Rooted in
our movements, we work collaboratively with strategic partners at the global
level to provide knowledge, resources, and access to international institutions and
processes. Our vision is a world free from human rights violations based on gender
identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics. Our strategy is to transform
the landscape of global advocacy, knowledge creation, and resource distribution
through critical inclusion of trans, gender diverse, and intersex movements at all
levels of political, legal, and socio-economic processes. Find out more about GATE

A Guide to Do it Better in Our CBVCT Centres.pdf

Documents

Description

"The implementation and improvement of community-based voluntary counselling and testing
(CBVCT) services is a means of offering these so-called hard-to-reach or more-at-risk populations an
opportunity to know their HIV status, receiving information and counselling, being linked to the
health system if necessary and being treated in a non-judgmental way. The community-based
approach will be the leitmotiv of this document, since CBVCT services target one or more
communities and include community members in at least one part of the implementation process
of the service.
The CBVCT approach can break down many barriers to HIV testing among most-at-risk populations
through the social proximity of the staff to the target community. Promotion of quality
implementation of CBVCT is necessary to guarantee and extend the valuable characteristics of the
community-based approach." (p. 4)

Description

"Clear, evidence-based links have been identified between HIV infection and a higher prevalence of mental
health conditions compared to the general population. This discussion paper draws on existing policy and
good practice to identify key policy themes and types of interventions for improving community-based HIV
and mental health care.
The paper also references two EATG-sponsored stakeholder events. The first event, which was internal to
EATG, demonstrated that there is already significant experience among members about the HIV and mental
health continuum of care. The second event included stakeholders external to EATG. The discussion made it
very clear that WHO and others have been working on building a solid HIV and mental health continuum of
care for years now. Presenters shared examples of lay workers and clinicians collaborating at the community
and institutional/hospital levels, adapting what they do to national needs and the shape of their HIV epidemic." (p. 3)

"The READI (Research in Europe and Diversity Inclusion) Project is a public-private partnership funded by the Horizon Europe Innovative Health Initiative (IHI). It aims to create a more cohesive and inclusive ecosystem for clinical studies by ensuring the participation of underserved and underrepresented populations. To date, clinical study results have struggled to be scientifically representative, as it frequently does not include patients who fully reflect the complete general population leading to: Unequal access to health innovations for patients across Europe, Significant knowledge gaps in clinical research that affect healthcare for everyone, Preventing many US/UR populations from participating in clinical studies, reinforcing disparities in healthcare innovation and outcomes." https://ihi-readi.org/
