2019年3月 ブラジル開催ハンセン病回復者団体 中南米地域会合

The purpose of this event is to bring together entities from the people affected by leprosy, governments, non-governmental organizations and other partners to strengthen and broaden the dialogue between civil society and governments in order to advance the protection and inclusion of the people affected by the disease, in combating stigma and discrimination, as well as for the elimination of the disease.

This meeting focused on strategies to promote the implementation of the Third Pillar of the Global Strategy for Leprosy 2016-2020 of the World Health Organization, which deals with the elimination of discrimination and promotion of the inclusion of the people affected by leprosy and the Elimination Principles and Guidelines of the Leprosy Discrimination of the UN Human Rights Council

It is also an important forum for deliberation of issues to be referred to the United Nations Organization, the World Health Organization, and in particular the First World Meeting of the People Affected by Leprosy and the 20th International Leprosy Congress, to be held in September in the Philippines.

This is the first time that entities of the people affected by leprosy in Latin America and the Caribbean have come together to discuss, reflect and address joint issues on the issue of coping with the disease, the social stigma surrounding it and measures of inclusion and social protection.
