On January 25, 2013, an important court victory against HIV/AIDS employment discrimination was achieved in China’s Jiangxi Province, when the Nanjing-based NGO, Justice for All successfully mediated with a government agency and obtained compensation for the plaintiff in the lawsuit, Ms. Qi. The agency that was sued paid CNY 45,000 ($7,229 USD) in compensation to Ms. Qi, who thus became China’s first person living with HIV/AIDS to receive compensation in an employment discrimination case.
