Child-rights Discrimination Awareness-raising Aids |
| Free text | Research report by researchers who denounce the "stigmatization and isolation" experienced by people who are affected by HIV/AIDS, including children, often by their own families or extended families. Discrimination can also come from service providers such as schools and creches. Orphaned children living with HIV/AIDS have difficulties finding alternative carers. A whole chapter is dedicated to the "Framework for responding to stigma and discrimination" which includes the UNAIDS Guidelines on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights; the UNAIDS International Guidelines; United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child; the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and other legal and human rights instruments in application in South Africa. Implementing conventions and legislation seems to be a problem in dealing with HIV/AIDS affected people |
