भारत — FIGHTING STIGMA

Social stigma is the extreme disapproval of (or discontent with) a person or group on socially characteristic grounds that are perceived, and serve to distinguish them, from other members of a society. Stigma may then be affixed to such a person, by the greater society, who differs from their cultural norms. — Social stigma can result from the perception (rightly or wrongly) of mental illness, physical disabilities, diseases such as leprosy (see leprosy stigma),illegitimacy, sexual orientation, gender identity, skin tone, education, nationality, ethnicity, ideology, religion (or lack of religion) or criminality. Attributes associated with social stigma often vary depending on the geopolitical and corresponding sociopolitical contexts employed by society, in different parts of the world.

Lucha contra el estigma

Un Estigma social es una desaprobación social severa de características o creencias personales que son percibidas como contrarias a las normas culturales establecidas. —— Erving Goffman define estigma como el proceso en el cual la reacción de los demás estropea la "identidad normal". Goffman reconoce tres formas de estigma: La experiencia de una enfermedad mental (o la imposición de este diagnóstico); una forma de deformidad o una diferenciación no deseada y la asociación a una determinada raza, creencia o religión (o ausencia de ésta) (Goffman, 1990).
