Siyam'kela: Tackling HIV/AIDS Stigma: Guidelines for the Workplace

摘要

The Siyam'kela Project thus aims to pave the way for a stigma-mitigation process by developing well-researched indicators of HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. The Project has focused on three key areas essential to South Africa's response to HIV/AIDS: faith-based organizations and communities as important sources of support to people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHAs)$ government departments as workplaces committed to dealing with stigma through good policy and practice$ and the relationship between PLHAs and the media as an example of how empowered individuals can impact positively on perceptions and attitudes towards HIV/AIDS.
