The words ‘man’ and ‘sex’ are interpreted differently in diverse cultures and societies as well as by the individuals involved. As a result, the terms MSM covers a large variety of settings and contexts in which male to male sex takes place. Caveat Ths report does not claim to be the final authority on the extent of MSM groups, networks and organisations in the South Asia region. Many small groups will most likely have been mised because they are not registered, or they have not been mentioned by other groups and organisations that have been identified. However, the information provided here does give an indication of the development of these groups, networks and organisa- tions. In 1990, only India has any sort of organising around male-male sexualities, and then it is estimated that there were less than 10 such organisations. It needs to also be recognised that such organisations, groups and networks are organic, often rising and falling, and renewing themselves under different names, and that such listings are not static but evolutionary. 6 Mapping of MSM groups, organisations and networks in South Asia APCOM Report No. 3, November 2008 Mapping of MSM groups, organisations and networks in South Asia Mapping MSM groups, organisations and networks in South Asia Introduction According to a policy brief titled “The Value of Investing in MSM Programs in the Asia and the Pacific re- gion”, developed by the USAID Health Policy Initiative and APCOM (March 2008), there is strong evidence establishing male-to-male sex as one of the driving forces of HIV transmission in the region. HIV prevalence among MSM and transgender populations ranges from 3 to 17% in Asia-Pacific countries1 (5 to 15 times higher than overall HIV prevalence). In India, for instance, the latest estimates by National AIDS Control Organisa- tion (NACO) show that prevalence among MSM and transgender populations was 5.7% in 2006 as against the overall adult of 0.36%2. Technical and funding support based on such evidence for large scale strategic interventions that address male- to-male and transgender sexualities and related HIV vulnerabilities is only now beginning to materlize in the region. One of the first steps needed in scaling up this response is to map the populations concerned and their representative groups, organisations and networks. This study carried out by India Naz Foundation Interna- tional aimed at such a mapping of MSM groups, organisations and networks in the South Asian countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka Mongolia has been included in the sub region at their request.3 The study focused on male who have sex with male populations, given that not enough known about their spe- cific vulnerabilities to HIV and the response that is already under the way to address the vulnerabilities. More specifically, the study looked at; a. Creation of a database of groups, organisations and networks addressing HIV prevention, care, support and treatment issues of MSM population in South Asia. b. Assess the geographical spread and coverage of these groups, organisations and networks. c. Assess their current HIV response; and d. Assess their readiness for scaling up the response The study covered both community-based organisations (CBOs) and other voluntary (and private sector) agen- cies to gain a comprehensive overview.4 Study process The study was conducted by the knowledge unit of India Naz Foundation International, based in Lucknow, India. As a first step, an excel database format was developed to lay out all information issues that needed investiga- tion. Information for India was divided by the states and rest by country. Please see the Annexures for the data breakdown. This was followed by a desk review (both internet based and otherwise) of research reports, programme re- ports, annual reports, policy documents, organisational brochures and other profile documents, and existing databases of government and non-government agencies involved in work on gender, sexuality, human rights, HIV and AIDS and other associated issues to identify MSM groups. networks and organisations.

Available on www.msmasia.org. 4 Government and bilateral / multilateral agencies were not considered for the mapping as their primary role is that of providing funding and technical support and not direct or indirect implementation. 7 APCOM Report No. 3, November 2008 Mapping of MSM groups, organisations and networks in South Asia proportion of the desk review utilised resources available in NFI’s Resource Centre in its regional programme office also based in Lucknow. All the collected information through the desk review was verified for accuracy and updating through e-mails and telephone calls. In many instances, the desk review revealed only contact information or incomplete data. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the missing information. The questionnaire was distributed through e-mail and post, and where needed, completed through telephone interviews. The questionnaire was also posted on e-forums used by MSM and HIV and AIDS organisations, their support forums and other agencies working with them in South Asia. This allowed the capture of information as yet unavailable in print or on websites. Respondents to the questionnaire were asked to provide contact informa- tion of other groups, organisations and networks they knew about.

  • D Urbar T Ook Ou RBAR T a Rally Y on Ma Ay
    from DURBAR 15th May 2012 Durbar took out a rally on May Day Sex work and workers were often treated as a blot on civil society and despite working so hard they hardly get any respect by people. Durbar, a forum exclusively of sex workers and their children, took out a rally on 30th April night on the occasion to celebrate May Day (Labour Day) from Rabindra Kanan and finally converged at College square seeking legalization of sex work. Around 2000 sex workers and their children from different red light districts of Kolkata paraded down the streets to raise their voices to get recognisation as worker. If a normal worker can enjoy all facilities why can’t the sex workers as they also toil hard to earn their livelihood. They should also be recognized as entertainment workers. Thus every year Durbar celebrates this day, keeping in mind the demand of social rights and status of sex workers. They have been fighting for the cause since past 17 years. Other unorganized workers like domestic workers and construction workers were also participated in this rally. Durbar participated in the campaign of "Asangathitha Khetra Sramik Swikriti Abhijan 2012” "Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee" as a member of Sramajibi Swikriti Mancha participated in the "Asangathitha Khetra Sramik Swikriti Abhijan" a two day campaign to sensitize the unorganized labour and homeless people. The campaign was inaugurated on 10th April 2012 by 10 unorganized workers of different sector including Sex workers, rag pickers, rickshaw pullers, domestic workers and others at Sealdah Station. The sex workers demanded for their workers right while the rag pickers discussed about the conditions in which they have to do jobs to earn their livelihood.
