Reducing Discrimination Initiative

National Society Activities

HIV/AIDS anti-stigma campaign - many National Societies

In 2001, the Federation committed to become a better home for people living with HIV/AIDS, and scaled up its contribution to the global HIV/AIDS response.

The truth about AIDS. Pass it on… campaign was launched on 8 May 2002. The campaign has been working to prevent, reduce and ultimately eliminate HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination wherever it occurs and in all its forms.

In partnership with the Global Network of People living with HIV/AIDS (GNP+), the Federation has implemented targeted advocacy activities, and to date, more than two thirds of the Federation’s 183 member National Societies have actively campaigned against stigma and discrimination.
