Addressing stigma and discrimination: Faith partner resources for health emergencies
The WHO Faith Network hosts the second webinar in a series documenting existing faith partner resources and tools that can be repurposed for different health emergencies.
Infectious disease pandemics often result in increased stigma and discrimination. Stigma is far reaching and has profound impacts for health-related outcomes. Stigma and discrimination need to be addressed in our communications, by health care providers and community leaders, and considered in how we respond to a disease outbreak. Join us to learn about existing resources that address stigma and discrimination in the context of health emergencies and for prevention in the future.
