IRIN Examines Niger's Anti-Discrimination Law Against People Living With HIV

August 20, 2009

IRIN examines Niger's anti-discrimination law, which "guarantees HIV-positive individuals the right to health care, employment, social security, education, health insurance and freedom of movement." Though the law was enacted in 2007, it remains largely unenforced, according to the news service. However, efforts are currently underway to ensure the law becomes more widely adopted (8/19).
