The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has allowed countries to bring their response to HIV/AIDS to an unprecedented scale, resulting in innovative projects that reach otherwise underserved communities with HIV prevention, treatment, and care. But in regions and countries where sex workers, men who have sex with men, or lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons are criminalized or stigmatized, organizations that are led by or work with these groups face challenges participating in Global Fund processes and accessing funding. This article explores the potential of the Global Fund to create space for the participation of these groups in decision-making and to increase their access to resources; examines barriers that hinder their participation; and proposes measures to overcome them.
全球抗击艾滋病、结核病和疟疾基金使各国能够以前所未有的规模应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病，实施了创新性项目，为得不到充分服务的艾滋病毒感染者社区提供预防、治疗和护理。但在对性工作者、男男性行为者或女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者加以定罪或污名化的区域和国家，由这些群体领导或与之合作的组织在参与全球基金进程和获得资金方面面临挑战。本文探讨了全球基金为这些群体参与决策创造空间和增加其获得资源的机会的潜力；审视了妨碍其参与的障碍；并提出了克服这些障碍的措施。
