Violence, Harassment, Stigma and Discrimination

This survey tool documents PLHIV and KP’s experiences of violence, harassment, stigma, and discrimination in different settings, such as Healthcare Facilities, Workplaces or Employment, Educational or Learning Institutions, Government Agencies, Religious Facilities, General Communities or Public Spaces, Households, Family, or Intimate Relationships, during access to Justice, During Crises and Humanitarian Emergencies, Online Spaces, and other spaces. This also documents, among other things, the redress-seeking behavior of PLHIV KPs and the availability and accessibility of redress mechanisms.

This survey tool was developed to document stories of individuals who experienced violence, harassment, stigma, and discrimination (VHSD) because of their actual or perceived HIV status. Please remember that 1 submission = 1 incident only. If you have experienced multiple acts of VHSD in different circumstances within the past 12 months, submit each incident separately. 

The information you provide will be responsibly used to advocate for solutions to eliminating HIV-related violence, harassment, stigma, and discrimination. Grave forms of VHSD, such as physical and sexual abuse, among others, may be reported to appropriate government agencies and/or organizations that can provide corresponding assistance.

Important: Please note that the data collected through www.commusta.ph will be responsibly used for monitoring, research, and advocacy to improve the HIV & AIDS response in the Philippines

Note: For multiple choice questions, 🔘 means only one answer can be selected and ☑️ allows multiple answers.
