ChooseLOVEnotSTIGMA - dr. Reisa Broto Asmoro Talking About Stigma and Tuberculosis
Stigma is frequently described as process of devaluation, whereby stigmatized people are discredited, seen as a disgrace, perceived to have less value or worth, or even seen as a danger. Stigmatized people are therefore often avoided by other members of society. In the context of TB, those who are considered key populations in TB often face double or multiple reinforcing stigma associated with the disease (i.e. weak, incapable, poor, unhealthy lifestyle). The stigma affect their profession and/or financial status. Research highlights that stigma and its manifestations (e.g discrimination) limit access to TB services and have impact on the quality of life for people with TB.
On this Valentine’s Day, a day to celebrate LOVE and stop the spread of various forms of hate such as STIGMA. This day should be a day to #chooseLOVEnotSTIGMA. Let us address stigma and stop the spread of hate. Let's speak up, stand up and step up to a brighter future. This is what dr. Reisa do to beat the stigma.
