Welcome to the December issue of the International Journal of Discrimination and the Law. As the world continues to struggle with the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic – discussed at length in our Autumn Special Issue – we are, in the first two articles here, reminded of the difficulties faced by many due to law’s inability to adequately engage with stubborn, damaging prejudices that have permeated societies for generations. The ongoing ramifications of a global pandemic that continues to impact upon the lives of millions of people across the world is the topic of our first article: focussing on issues arising from litigation brought by those facing discrimination due to HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, Bola Fajemirokun highlights the constraints inherent in relevant legal measures and the perils of litigation in Nigeria. The latter include stigmatisation and inordinate delays and the author suggests how differential treatment of women with AIDS/HIV can add to their plight.
