Human rights for health

To achieve development targets on HIV and health, key populations must enjoy a full range of rights. APMG bases all of its work on respect for human rights and gender sensitivity. We respect diversity and participation of beneficiaries from the design to the implementation and evaluation of programs, as well as ownership by beneficiaries, confidentiality and equity. Our work with people most affected by HIV and other infectious diseases is grounded in the belief that for a response to be effective, those most invested must be empowered and engaged to participate in a self-determined response.

Our work supports those most in need to gain better access to physical, social and psychological health and well-being, as well as to enjoy freedoms they deserve regardless of gender, sexual orientation, occupation, and health status.

  • Global A series of assessments of human rights barriers to HIV and TB services (in the Philippines, Ukraine, Sierra Leone and Kyrgyzstan); to HIV, TB and Malaria services in Côte d’Ivoire; and to HIV services in Tunisia. In each country, a team of local consultants worked with one to two international consultants to examine the barriers to human rights; the work carried out to reduce these barriers; and potential activities that could form part of a comprehensive five-year strategy in each country to reduce these barriers, including the costs of such an approach. The project involved the production of six baseline reports in a standard format following the multi-implementer protocol (The Global Fund 2016-2018)
