March 1 – the special day for #Chasethevirusnotpeople campaign team, dedicated to the Zero Discrimination goal. Its support from the campaign and the communities of Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) – an opportunity to show the importance and the need for change, to stand up united for justice and equality for everyone.

The HIV epidemic in the region continues to develop, and the key populations are the most affected by it: because of discriminatory legislation, its application and stigmatization, their access to services is very limited

Without a change of discriminatory legislation, achieving goals 90-90-90 in the region is impossible

Improving the legal environment and providing access to services for key populations will help to curb the epidemic and sustain the HIV programs, which in the long run will not require international investment

It is important to direct donor support to the destigmatization of key populations and people living with HIV

Elimination of discriminatory legal barriers is key for the effectiveness and sustainability of HIV programs in the EECA region
