While the first part of the report, based on a rapid literature review, shows there is a lack of published data, the second part narrates stories of inequalities from individual interviews and follow up focus groups conducted around the world. Indigenous peoples living with HIV and/or having TB, shared their own experiences and recounted multiple experiences of advocating for those who had been fired from work or been denied proper medical care. The report shows that indigenous peoples face double discrimination – because they are indigenous as well as living with HIV and/or having TB. Being an LGBT indigenous person adds another layer to this. Barriers to accessing health services, denial of the right to work and discrimination in employment settings are highlighted. The report makes important recommendations to address the situation, emphasizing the meaningful participation of indigenous peoples, especially those living with HIV and/or having TB.
