In spite of significant progress achieved in the sphere of fight against HIV, tuberculosis and malaria during last 15 years, there is a range of factors determined by violation of human rights, which prevent millions of people to have access to services on prevention, cure and care:
- People living with HIV and tuberculosis still feel stigmatization and discrimination due to their state of health.
- Women and girls are widely subjected to gender inequality and violence.
- Sex-business workers, man having sex with men, transgender people, people, using drugs, imprisoned, migrants and refugees do not have necessary access to medical servicesand are subjected to marginalization in restricted legal and social circumstances.
Strategy of Global Fund is “Investing for impact” for 2012-2016 pursues five aims. One of them is directed to protection and promotion of human rights by:
- consideration of issues regarding human rights on all levels of grant implementation;
- increase of funding of programs aimed to elimination of obstacles of access to treatment, connected to violation of human rights; and
- elimination of Global Fund support of programs if they allow human rights violation.
