Positive Protection: Empowering Women Affected By HIV To Protect Their Rights At Health Care Settings - Participant's Handbook

Women affected by HIV in Nepal have reported violations of their rights, particularly in health care settings, being subject to forced and coerced sterilization or abortions, or denied access to sexual and reproductive health services. Yet, according to a UNDP Report released in 2013, not a single case was officially filed claiming discrimination or abuses in a health care setting. This is why this toolkit is needed and why it is vital for Nepal's fight against HIV.

This training manual, Positive Protection: Empowering Women Affected by HIV to Protect their Rights at Healthcare Settings, will help ensure no one is left behind or overlooked in our work to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This manual is aimed at empowering women with HIV to know and protect their rights, and to gain access to justice in cases where those rights have been violated.
