EMPOWERING KEY POPULATIONS TO PROTECT THEIR HEALTH:
UNIQUE ROLES OF COMMUNITIES
IMPLEMENTING COMPREGENSIVE
PROGRAMMES JOINTLY
Human rights based approach works
Community-empowerment-based responses to HIV in sex
workers were consistently associated with significant
reductions in HIV and STIs, and increases in condom use.
-- Lancet series 2014
• Securing adequate financial resources for sustaining and
further improving the national responses through continuity of
outreach services and partnership with civil society is crucial;
• Some countries made a way to amend the social contracting
and NGO funding legislations and ensured sustainability of
NGOs engagement in the situation of decreased international
support to NGOs;
• Local authorities have a particular role to cooperate with
NGOs
THANK YOU!
• Addressing HIV is integral to UNFPA’s goals of achieving universal
access to sexual and reproductive health, and realizing human rights
and gender equality
• UNFPA promotes integrated HIV and sexual and reproductive health
services for young people, key populations, and women and girls,
including those living with HIV.
• UNFPA supports the empowerment of these populations to claim their
human rights and access the services they need
• All of UNFPA’s work on HIV is done by engaging and empowering the
communities it is mandated to serve.
