Understanding and challenging HIV stigma : toolkit for action. Module I : children and stigma

This is the sixth booklet in this revised toolkit to raise awareness and promote practical action to challenge HIV stigma and discrimination. This module focuses on children and stigma and contains separate exercises for children and for adults. It was developed out of the findings of a study on children’s experiences of stigma carried out in Zambia in 2002-03, and with input from children in Tanzania who shared their stories with the facilitators in 2007. The toolkit was written by and for HIV trainers in Africa and changes and additions were made with the help of participants in a regional trainers network workshop in Zambia in August 2005
