National Dialogue on HIV and Human Rights
The National Dialogue on HIV and Human Rights was carried out in 2013 upon the initiative of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Social Development, and of civil society organizations. This Dialogue has also taken place in other countries in Latin America, and follows a standardized methodology created by the UNDP. It included a time of 45 days to present specific cases of violations of human rights, good practices and recommendations, which was discussed in a plenary with technical support to elaborate concrete proposals. It culminated in a forum of the public sector and civil society organizations, where the objective was to agree on concrete actions that favor adequate legal frameworks for the protection and promotion of the rights of people with HIV, as well as mechanisms of enforceability and sanctions. The national dialogue was considered as an input to the HIV / AIDS draft law from a human rights perspective, launched in 2014.
