There was a exhibition on social stigmatization.
"Stigma is the social process of labeling, stereotyping, and rejecting human difference as a form of social control (Link & Phelan, 2001; Phelan et al., 2008). Given that stigma is a complex and dynamic process, the measurement of stigma is inherently thwarted by challenges including concerns regarding the level (e.g., interpersonal, structural) and perspective (e.g., objective versus subjective experiences) at which to operationalize stigma and measure its severity and frequency (e.g., hate crimes versus everyday discrimination) (Meyer, 2003a). operationalizing stigma according to the levels and means through which it is experienced—structural, interpersonal, and individual (Figure 1). Structural stigma refers to the societal norms and institutional policies that constrain access to resources, while interpersonalstigma refers to direct or enacted forms of stigma such verbal harassment, physical violence, and sexual assault due to one’s gender identity or expression. At the individual level, stigma includes the feelings people hold about themselves or the beliefs they perceive others to hold about them that may shape future behavior such as the anticipation and avoidance of discrimination.

Central to structural stigma is power, which is used by the stigmatizing majority to exclude and marginalize those who are different

Stigma at the interpersonal level can shape stigmatized individuals’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral processes. Thus, at the individual level, stigmatized individuals’ psychological processes are affected by stigma, which powerfully shapes their basic orientation to themselves, others, and their environmental circumstances. These processes include anxious expectations of rejection and stigma avoidance, stigma concealment, and reduced self-efficacy to cope with stigma-related stressors.

Experiencing stigma at the interpersonal level can affect how people evaluate and approach future situations. Anxiously expecting discrimination can lead to avoidance of interpersonal situations, which can take a toll on one’s mental and physical health

What I see in indoensia is the stigmatising of a number of important issues with respect to sexuality including

- vilifying lgbt leading to exclusion, harassment and violence

- judging sex outside of marriage as dirty, wrong and irresponsible. Sex should only be between a married man and woman. De-Legitimizing all other relationships.

- ignoring fundamental human rights with respect to gender and sexuality. Where all people regardless of gender or sexuality have the right to sexual relationships of their choice. Without fear, judgement, exclusion and violence.

The opposite of stigma and discrimination is inclusion, tolerance and respect

Other areas of stigma and discrimination includes

- the criminalization of sex workers

- excluding children born to single mothers a KTP and thus access to education and health

- harassment and violence to people living with HIV

- judging others for bring different"
