As we commemorate World TB & Leprosy Day today, we remain committed to elimination of stigma and support for patients. Join us today as our Technical Advisor Human Rights, Ms. Edith Kamakune participates in an interactive discussion on re framing the fight against TB.

CEHURD, with support from @TASOUganda , is implementing a project titled supporting Uganda’s response to HIV/AIDS and TB reduction strategic plan. From 12th to 20th March 2026, CEHURD conducted mobile legal aid camps across five districts of Uganda, that is Mbale, Tororo, Soroti, Arua and Buyende, aimed at promoting access to justice and human rights for KPs, PLHIV and other priority populations. The outreach was implemented in collaboration with key district stakeholders, including the Chief Administrative Office (CAO), District Community Development Office (DCDO), District Health Office (DHO) and the Probation Office, ensuring effective coordination and community mobilization. Through these mobile legal aid camps, communities were sensitised on their rights, including the rights of PLHIV and TB, and their entitlements, with a focus on land ownership, family and children’s rights, and protection against gender-based violence. The camps also provided technical support on estate planning and intestate succession, empowering communities to claim their rights and access essential services. Community members raised urgent issues including HIV-related stigma, barriers to healthcare, GBV, child and family neglect, land disputes, and human trafficking. In response, the CEHURD team conducted targeted sensitisation on HIV/AIDS, TB and gender-based violence, successfully resolved four legal cases, and secured airtime on community radio stations to reach a wider audience beyond the physical camps. In partnership with local health centres, over 100 community members received HIV testing and TB screening. CEHURD remains committed to advancing equitable access to justice and strengthening Uganda’s response to HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis through a human rights-based approach, ensuring vulnerable communities are informed, supported and empowered. #TBHIVHumanRights
