PLHIV Stigma Index 2.0: Empowering Evidence-Based Interventions through Capacity Building
The People Living with HIV Stigma Index 2.0 is a standardised research tool designed to be used by and for people living with HIV to gather critical data about experiences of stigma and discrimination for evidenced based advocacy. Committed to the principle of Greater Involvement of People Living with HIV and AIDS (GIPA), the SI methodology ensures that research is implemented by and for networks of people living with HIV, including women and key populations. This interactive panel discussion will explore how data can be used to develop effective advocacy strategies and capacity building by community leadership on data collection for evidenced based interventions.
