Good practice guide: HIV and human rights

The Good Practice Guide: HIV and Human Rights is an accessible and user-friendly guide to explain:

• what human rights-based HIV programming is
• why it is important
• the different ways that organisations can integrate human rights into their HIV programmes.

It brings together international guidance as well as good practice experience from across the world on HIV and human rights programming.

The guide assists programmers to integrate human rights through all stages of theHIV programming cycle, from design, development and implementation throughto M&E. It gives practical guidance on the kinds of human rights programmes recommended by the Alliance and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) for protecting and promoting human rights in the context of HIV, and for creating change at individual, community, service provision and law, and policy levels. It provides accessible and practical planning tools, as well as programmatic examples of how to address human rights in a way that includes affected populations, builds capacity, responds to the inequalities underlying HIV and AIDS, and promotes universal access to HIV-related health services. It also includes reference to further information and resources for more in-depth information about human rights, HIV and rights-based programming for HIV.
