Just Detention International - Prisoner Rape and The Spread of HIV

Prisoner Rape and The Spread of HIV

JDI works to address the devastating link between sexual abuse behind bars and the spread of HIV inside prisons and in the community – a link that has been largely ignored by public health officials. Sexual abuse in detention fuels the global AIDS pandemic, especially in countries where legislation and policies that discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people already are hurting HIV prevention efforts. JDI works to implement policies that protect the health, safety, and dignity of all detainees.
