In this 2019 TEDx talk, Nadine, Beyond Stigma's CEO, shares her personal experience of self-stigma and the programme approach of The Work of Bryon Katie used to question beliefs and thoughts that underpin self-stigma and shame related to HIV, sex work, tuberculosis and being human.

In this talk, Deirdre Ní Cheallaigh, Head of Programmes at Beyond Stigma, shares insights from nearly two decades of working alongside communities affected by HIV, gender inequality, and stigma. Drawing on her experience across multiple countries, she explores how relationships built on love, trust, and continuous learning can help transform internal stigma into self-worth and create lasting personal and community change.

This video captures the 12-week online course that was completed in 2021 as part of the Wakakosha programme.
The Wakakosha, or 'I'm Worth It" programme began in 2019 and is currently in progress. The goal of this program is to specifically address self-stigma amongst young people living with HIV, a vulnerable age group in the HIV crisis in Zimbabwe.


Camp with 30 young people in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It supported the group to understand the power of thinking. Focused on identifying thoughts that cause stress, the group learned how to question stressful thoughts, get in touch with emotions and see life from different perspectives.

This short video describes the 'We Are The Change programme'. It presents the methodology, the results and shares the experience of participants taking part in the programme.

This nine-minute video hears the voices of those who have taken the 12-week self-stigma and HIV course, talking of their experience with the programme and the impact in their lives.

This song was created by young people affected by HIV living in Zimbabwe and taking part of the Wakakosha ('I am worth it') programme. During a creative songwriting series of workshops they went through the experience of telling their story, dive deep into what dealing with HIV-related self-stigma meant to them, and used these feelings to compile the Wakakosha song.
