There are a range of people – men who have sex with men, people who use drugs, sex workers and some people living with HIV – whose vulnerability to HIV is intensified by the hostile laws, policies and policing practices which they have to endure, and by the lack of programmes designed for their needs. The United Nations Development Programme has set up a Global Commission to research the experiences of these criminalized groups ; the submissions of civil society will be vital to its success.
