Tuberculosis Stigma Reduction Animation Video

Stigma counselling and mutual support groups have been shown to enable and empower people with TB to reduce self-stigma and anticipated stigma. This video was created under the pilot project, ASCOT: ‘Addressing the SoCial determinants and cOnsequences of Tuberculosis in Nepal’. The video focuses on the examples of stigma, including the ways to combat the stigma. The video was used in the TB support group called the ‘TB clubs’, where people with TB were encouraged to speak (or share their stories) about how they felt about having TB, discuss about TB related stigma and the ways to combat it.
