destigmatising

Lifting social stigma

Destigmatising is the British spelling of destigmatizing—working to remove shame or negative associations from something: destigmatising mental illness, destigmatising addiction.

The effort typically involves public discourse, education, or policy changes aimed at treating previously shamed conditions or identities as normal rather than disgraceful.
