Diversity in humanity, humanity in diversity 2017, para. 47
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- UNFPA concentrates on the issue of sexual and reproductive rights and their relationship with health, including for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, through four areas: policy formulation, capacity development, information and knowledge and delivery of services. It has developed a stigma index tool to help expose stigma, and has enabled access to condom and lubricant programming based on the principles of non-stigmatization and non-coercion. It has reached out to vulnerable groups to reduce HIV-related stigma, and it has called for the reform of punitive laws that drive people underground, in relation to same-sex relations, sex work and drugs-related situations.
