Perilaku diskriminasi terhadap orang dengan HIV/AIDS (ODHA) merupakan hambatan utama dalampencegahan, pengobatan, dan pengendalian HIV/AIDS. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan HIV/AIDS dengan diskriminasi terhadap ODHA pada kelompok Wanita Usia Subur (WUS) 15-49 tahun di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan data Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) Tahun 2017 dengan desain penelitian cross sectional. Besar sampel penelitian ini 40.433 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 75,3% WUS memiliki perilaku diskriminasi terhadap ODHA, 13,8% WUS memiliki pengetahuan yang kurang tentang HIV/AIDS. Pengetahuan yang kurang memiliki risiko untuk melakukan diskriminasi terhadap ODHA (OR= 3,005 95% CI: 2,484-3,633) setelah dikontrol umur dan keterpaparan media dan interaksi antara tingkat pendidikan dengan pengetahuan. Kesimpulannnya terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara pengetahuan tentang HIV/AIDS dan diskriminasi terhadap ODHA, dan variabel umur, keterpaparan media serta tingkat pendidikan menjadi variabel yang berpengaruh terhadap diskriminasi terhadap ODHA dan pengetahuan tentang HIV/AIDS. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan upaya peningkatan pengetahuan HIV/AIDS terutama pada kelompok usia lebih muda melalui pendekatan mediasosial yang lebih optimal guna meniadakan perilaku diskriminasi terhadap ODHA.

“…Ocran (2022) dealt with structural dimensions of discrimination toward PWDs; Obiri-Yeboah et al (2022) addressed the economic impact of rickshaws; Acheampong and Asabre (2022) studied place-based accessibility and found out that accessibility was poor due to congestion (2022); Boateng et al (2022) 2018) looked at accessibility within the CBD and concluded that there were serious challenges. Kleager (2017) dealt with the risks along the Kumasi-Accra road that resulted in the construction of a bypass to avoid certain towns where accidents had been frequently occurring.…”

The rights of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to accessible built environments include the convenient and safe use of roads and pedestrian infrastructure. This is founded on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and other related international and local legislation. These notwithstanding, this paper sought to ascertain whether the accessibility needs of PWDs were amply factored into decisions on pedestrian infrastructure. The study adopted a descriptive research design. It involved the use of a checklist developed from the Accessible Side-walks and Street Crossing information guide and the Ghana Accessibility Standards for the Built Environment to assess pedestrian infrastructure along five arterial roads leading to Kumasi, the second most populous city in Ghana. Interviews were also used to ascertain the opinions of 122 PWDs on the inclusiveness of the pedestrian infrastructure. The study found that the pedestrian infrastructure was not as inclusive as required. Maintenance was not given due attention and most PWDs had challenges with the pedestrian infrastructure. The study concludes that irrespective of the prevalence of both international and local standards in Ghana, the accessibility needs of PWDs are not amply factored into decisions on pedestrian infrastructure. Accordingly, policy should dwell on holistic enforcement of the accessibility standards in design, construction and maintenance. These will support the quest to enhance accessible transport systems and consequently efforts towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 11.
