Communities of people living with and affected by HIV have persistently called for action on HIV-related stigma and discrimination which continues to be an enormous challenge. Governments are starting to listen - in 2021, they committed to an ambitious goal to end HIV-related stigma by 2030. Since then, 38 countries have joined the Global Partnership to demonstrate their commitment and work collaboratively with communities, UN agencies and donors to scale up effective programmes to reduce HIV-related stigma and discrimination. This satellite will showcase the results of this increased political and financial investment with perspectives from community and government representatives from Angola, Spain, Thailand, Jamaica and Ukraine..
