 The Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework is a comprehensive, global framework for understanding and addressing health-related stigma. It provides a unified approach to understanding and reducing stigma related to a wide variety of health conditions, such as leprosy, epilepsy, mental health, cancer, HIV and obesity overweight. The framework emphasizes the importance of understanding the intersectionality of stigma related to race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and occupation, and how these factors interact with health-related stigma. Additionally, the framework highlights the need for research, programming, and policy efforts to be informed by a shared understanding of the underlying causes of health-related stigma. By applying this framework, we can better understand the complexities of health-related stigma and develop more effective strategies to reduce its impact.
