*Description        *Please join the launch of major new research report
investigating human rights and health rights of young adults living with
and affected by HIV in the digital age in Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, and
Vietnam, by the Digital Health and Rights Project (DHRP) Consortium.

The study—the largest of its kind—highlights how barriers such as stigma,
harassment, and digital exclusion block access to essential health support
online. It also explores how young adults are mobilizing to find new ways
to solve these problems, with recommendations for a more inclusive digital
future. This study is based on participatory action research with young
adults, including LGBTQ+ people, sex workers, people living with HIV and
others in rural, urban and peri-urban areas, contributing to design,
data-gathering, analysis and advocacy throughout the research.

*Why it matters*

 This report reveals critical gaps in digital rights protections, offering
recommendations to ensure that the digital transformation of health does
not deepen inequalities and lead to harms. With contributions from over 300
young people across four countries, the study presents vital evidence for
policymakers, tech companies, and health advocates working to bridge
digital divides and protect human rights in the digital future.

*About the DHRP Consortium*

 The members of the Consortium include the Global Network of People Living
with HIV (GNP+), along with its affiliated networks NAP+ Ghana and VNP+, as
well as the Kenya Legal & Ethical Issues Network on HIV & AIDS (KELIN),
Privacy International, Restless Development, STOPAIDS, Universidad de los
Andes, and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies at the University
