HIV, TB Key & Affected Populations

What We Do

HIV, TB Key & Affected Populations

WOBEBA works to ensure that health human rights on HIV, AIDS and TB are integrated into policies, laws, and regulations. We do this through interrogating current laws and policies on HIV, and TB, examining gaps at the district and regional level and prepare recommendations for how to integrate relevant human rights.

Increasing awareness to promote dialogue with the communities and stakeholders on their right to TB and HIV related services

Human rights are never really secure, they must be fought for everyday! We are convinced that the legal environment, law enforcement and justice systems have immense potential to better the lives of people living with and affected by HIV & TB.

The HIV, TB and Key Populations thematic area exists to protect and promote the rights of the vulnerable and marginalized groups using a multi-faceted approach: the simultaneous eradication of HIV and TB and the elevation and protection of health-related rights of key populations such as prisoners, LGBTQI persons and adolescent girls and young women.

The thematic area is committed to achieving universal access to prevention, treatment, care and support, eradicating inequalities and ensuring dignity and human rights for people living with HIV, people with TB, and key populations.

We envision an environment where populations with different sexual orientations and identities can access to health services without fear of stigma and discrimination, where a drug user can access clean needles without the risk of arrest; and where a sex worker doesn’t need to fear any violence from clients nor from the police. We work to ensure that health human rights on HIV, TB and key and affected populations are integrated into policies, laws, and regulations.
