In order to address social stigma, it is important to build trust in reliable health services and advice, show empathy to the affected individuals and adopting effective practical measures to keep people safe.

The following measures are recommended to address social stigma by the UNICEF.

 

Use of people-first language, that respects the individual and talking about the disease with a positive tone in all communication channels, including media, such as:

  • Using 'people who have COVID-19' instead of 'COVID-19 cases' or 'COVID-19 victims' or 'COVID-19 suspects'

 

Spreading accurate and updated facts, such as by:

  • Engaging social influencers, such as religious or political leaders and celebrities to amplify the message in a geographically and culturally appropriate way

 

Observe communication tips:

  • Share sympathetic narratives and stories that humanise the struggles of affected individuals and groups
