CAPACITY STRENGTHENING TOOL

HIV-Related Stigma and Discrimination Toolkit

This toolkit is a collection of educational exercises to help explore, understand, and challenge stigma and discrimination toward men who have sex with men (MSM).

It uses a participatory approach based on discussion, small group activities, pictures, stories, and other methods to make the learning lively and fun. The aim is to get participants actively involved in thinking about these issues, rather than passively listening to a lecture. Participants learn through sharing ideas, and experience, discussing and analyzing issues, solving problems, and planning how they can take practical action to challenge stigma. This approach fosters a sense of responsibility on the part of participants – the first step toward practical action.

This particular version was adapted for use in Cambodia.
