The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERs) is implementing a project focused on reducing HIV-related stigma within healthcare settings.

In response, TIERs will conduct targeted, in-person sensitivity training sessions to strengthen inclusive, rights-based healthcare delivery across facilities in Lagos, Ogun, and Ekiti States.
