Introduction:The overall objective of this project is to reduce stigma and discrimination towards the key
affected population and to remove human rights related barriers related to HIV and TB. The
specific objectives of the project are to empower marginalized communities and empower
women from this community technically and educationally to enable them to seek help and
service when facing violence. The project will also aim to encourage the community to advocate
and support the members when faced with such violence.

different community members and forming/strengthening support groups in avoiding harmful
stereotypical practices. The project will advocate and lobby to all committees at all levels of
