The Asia Paciﬁc Coalition on Male Sexual Health (APCOM) is a regional coalition of MSM and HIV community-based organisations and networks, the government sector, donors, technical experts and the UN system. The main purpose is advocating for political support and increases in investment and coverage of HIV services for males who have sex with males (MSM) and transgenders in Asia and the Paciﬁc. APCOM promotes the principles of good practice and lessons learnt by bringing together representatives from diverse groups in an effort to share experience, knowledge and expertise. The APCOM website includes additional resource materials including this Report, Policy Briefs, Commentaries, reports, news stories and APCOM membership registration.

Deﬁning the term transgender in the context of South Asia

Broadly speaking, transgender people are individuals whose gender expression and/or gender identity differs from conven- tional expectations based on the biological sex they were born into. The word transgender is an umbrella term which is used to describe a wide range of identities and experiences, including: female-to-male and male-to-female sex reassigned persons, but also cross-dressers, drag queens, drag kings, gender queers, and many more. In the South-Asian region this would include hijras, some kothis, zenanas and metis. Because transgender is an umbrella term, it is often thought to be an imprecise term that does not adequately describe the diversity of speciﬁc identities and experiences. (For example, the identity/experience of a post-operative female-to-male transsexual will probably be very different from that of a female-identiﬁed drag king who performs on weekends, but both are often lumped together under the term “transgender.”) web.mit.edu/hudson/www/terminology.html, accessed 14/6/08

While hijras are often identified as transsexuals, this is to a great extent a misnomer. This is a self-identified term used by biological males (and those who are born hermaphrodites) who define themselves as “not men/not women” but as a “third gender.” Hijras cross-dress publicly and privately and are a part of a social, religious, and cultural community. Ritual castra- tion may be part of the hijra identity, but not all hijras are castrated. Sex with men is common. They also have their own language, known as farsi.

The terms kothis, zenanas, and metis, used in Bangladesh and India, Pakistan and Nepal respectively, identify males who self-identify as feminised males (not transgender – but this term is often used to describe them) who have sex with masculine males who they label as panthis, giryas, or tas depending on the country.

Mapping Transgender Groups, Organisations and Networks in South Asia

Introduction

According to the policy brief titled “The Value of Investing in MSM Programs in the Asia-Paciﬁc Region”, for APCOM/ USAID Health Policy Initiative (APCOM Policy Brief No. 1, 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 31% in Asia-Paciﬁc countries1 (5 to 15 times higher than overall HIV prevalence). In India, for instance, the latest estimates by National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), India, show that prevalence among MSM and transgender populations was 5.7% in 2006 as against the overall adult prevalence 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 materialize in the region. One of the ﬁrst steps needed in scaling up this response is to map the populations concerned and their representative groups, organizations and networks. This study was commissioned by APCOM and carried out by SAATHII, and aimed to map the situation of and HIV ‘infrastructure’ for transgenders in the South Asian countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

The mapping study focused on transgenders, given that not enough is known about their speciﬁc vulnerabilities to HIV and the response that is already under way to address these vulnerabilities.

The study aimed to: a) Create a database of groups, organizations and networks addressing HIV prevention, care, support and treatment issues of transgenders in the South Asian region b) Assess the geographical spread and coverage of these groups, organizations and networks c) Assess the type and quality of their current HIV response; and d) Assess their readiness for scaling-up this response.

The study covered both community-based organizations (CBOs) and other voluntary (and private sector) agencies to gain a comprehensive overview.3

Estimating transgender population sizes and the reach of the groups, organizations and networks mapped was beyond the scope of this study. However, as an example, we can consider NACO’s 2006 estimate of 2.35 million MSM and transgender people in India. Even if the transgender population were to be a fraction of this ﬁgure, a far higher number of HIV interventions would be needed than the 100 odd mapped by this study.4 Given the vast geographical areas and huge populations of the countries in South Asia, a total of only 122 groups, organizations and networks serving transgender HIV concerns require urgent attention from both government and civil society agencies.

Study process

The project was implemented by a lead researcher, assisted by staff in SAATHII’s Calcutta, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bhu- baneswar ofﬁces. As a ﬁrst step, an MS Excel database format was created to lay out all information gaps and issues that needed investigation. Please see Annex I and II for data on India and other countries, respectively.

This was followed by a desk review (both Internet-based and otherwise) of research reports, programme reports, policy documents, organizational brochures and other documents, and existing databases of government and non-government agencies involved in work on gender, sexuality, human rights, HIV/AIDS and associated issues, including resources avail- able within the organisation. The Red Ribbon Pages Directory of HIV organisations, Edition 2003 also provided a number of information leads. Information collected through the desk review was veriﬁed for accuracy and was updating through

1 The epidemiology of HIV and STI among men who have sex with men and transgenders in Asia, Frits van Griensven, August 2007, presentation to the 8th International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Paciﬁc 2 Revised national prevalence data published by the National AIDS Control Organisation, India and UNAID, 2006, www. naco.nic.in 3 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. 4 The National AIDS Control Programme – Phase III itself estimates the need for 235 exclusive and 235 composite HIV targeted interventions to cater to 2.35 million MSM and trangender people. South Asian Transgender Groups, Organisations and Networks APCOM Report No. 2, July 2008 South Asian Transgender Groups, Organisations and Networks

ﬁlled in through telephone interviews. Annexure III provides the questionnaire.

The questionnaire was also posted on e-forums used by transgender people, their support forums and other agencies working with them in South Asia. These included AIDS-Asia, AIDS-India, AP-Rainbow, INFOSEM, LGBT-India, SAATHII listserve, MSM-Asia, and Transgender Sisters. This allowed capture of information as yet unavailable in print or on web- sites. Respondents to the questionnaire were asked to provide contact information of the other groups, organizations and networks they knew about. This created a small snowball of information collection. Existing linkages with civil society and other agencies working with MSM and transgender people in South Asia was also instrumental in collecting additional hard- to-access data. To facilitate and streamline communication, all e-mail postings were made through the specially created email ID [email protected]. In the ﬁnal stage the data in the MS Excel format was edited and supplemented with a legend for easy reference to abbreviations used.

Study ﬁndings

1. Geographical location A total of 103 entries for groups, organizations and networks were mapped in India, and another 19 for the other countries (6 in Bangladesh, 2 in Nepal, 8 in Pakistan and 3 in Sri Lanka). No information was found for Afghanistan, Bhutan and the Maldives. This regional disparity in geographical spread was also present within Bangladesh, India and Pakistan as well. Dhaka city and Rajshahi division in Bangladesh and Punjab province in Pakistan accounted for most of the entries. In India only 20 of the 35 states and Union Territories had groups, organizations and networks engaged with transgender issues (Table 1).

No information was found for 15 of the Indian states and Union Territories: Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Chandigarh, Chattisgarh, Dadar & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Lakshadweep Islands, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Sikkim and Tripura. However, a few groups and organizations in Delhi, Karnataka and Maharashtra also worked in some of the neighbouring states and Union Territories that do not ﬁgure in Table 1.5

In terms of regional distribution of the identiﬁed organisations within India, more than 60% of the entries were from the eastern and southern states and Union Territories (32% and 29%, respectively). Another 21% were from the northern and central regions, with only 12% from the western region and 6% from the north-eastern states. While most of the organisations are urban or semi-urban, their distribution across is not at all reﬂective of the actual population spread of India. It is merely indicative of the fact that there are regions in the country that need more organisations to serve the interest of transgenders. Moreover, even within regions, only a handful of states dominated. For example, only two states, Andhra Pradesh APCOM Report No. 2, July 2008 South Asian Transgender Groups, Organisations and Networks

and Tamil Nadu accounted for nearly all the entries from the southern region, while West Bengal and Orissa accounted for most entries in the eastern region. Similarly, the states of Maharashtra and Manipur dominated in their respective regions (the west and the north-east). Delhi and Rajasthan accounted for most of the entries in northern and central India.

2. Organizational structure of groups, organizations and networks mapped Community ownership is an issue that we encountered while conducting the study. While in India, 46 out of 103 organisations identiﬁed are CBOs, with some participation of transgenders themselves in the management and governance of the organisation, in all the other countries taken together, only 16% of the entries were those for CBOs.

The largest concentrations of CBOs are in the West Bengal and Tamil Nadu states of India, followed by states like Karna- taka. By contrast, states like Andhra Pradesh and Orissa mostly had NGOs working on HIV targeted interventions funded by respective State AIDS Control Societies. In contrast, in all the other countries put together, only 16% of the identified organisations were CBOs. This is with the caveat that estimation of transgender populations in these sub-regions was beyond the scope of this limited study. The study merely identified organisations, both community-owned and otherwise, who address transgender populations with targeted HIV services. We have categorised those organisations that have transgender persons in administrative and organisational policy making roles as CBOs. In India, from where the largest number of organisations was identified, almost 45% of the organisations fulfil this to be called a CBO.

India and on a smaller extent Sri Lanka had the beneﬁts of coalitions of agencies working with MSM, kothis, hijras, other transgender people and other sexual minorities. Examples of these could be Naz Foundation International’s partner network, the Indian Network for Sexual Minorities (INFOSEM) and MANAS Bangla in West Bengal state. If managed well, these networks were identiﬁed to be extremely effective vehicles for joint policy advocacy with government and other key stakeholders. To some extent this is already happening in India, where such networks played a key role in the formulation of the policy and operational guidelines of the India National AIDS Control Programme – Phase III (NACP-III).

3. Nature of HIV services In India, most groups and organizations mapped provided a basic HIV prevention package of awareness raising, condom promotion, STI treatment (mainly referrals) and HIV related counselling and testing (mainly referrals). The more experienced NGOs and CBOs also provided psycho-social counselling, drop-in centre services and access to lubes, and were engaged in multi-stakeholder advocacy for creating an enabling policy, legal and larger social environment. Many of these also had their own STI clinics. Well-researched BCC development and HIV care support and treatment referrals were less common, but not missing altogether.

The biggest gap seemed to be in addressing the non-STI/HIV/AIDS needs of transgender people, which play a crucial role in the creation of an enabling environment. For instance, only 16% of the agencies (16 out of 103) ran livelihood initiatives (income generation programmes and self-help cooperative groups) for transgender people. In contrast, 50% of the agencies in Bangladesh had self-help group initiatives. But in Pakistan these were missing altogether.

The more experienced agencies in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka had strong human rights campaigns. Provision of a basic package of STI/HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support and treatment services (including referral linkages) seemed to be on par in all the countries covered. India had most of the NGOs and CBOs involved in provision of HIV/AIDS training and other technical assistance towards capacity building.

4. Populations served Of the 103 Indian entries, only 9-10% focused exclusively on transgender people (aravanis, hijras, jogtas , kothis, transgender sex workers) and their male sexual partners. Most others also worked with MSM in general (including male sex workers) and other vulnerable populations of female sex workers, injecting drug users, truckers and migrant workers. Children, adolescents, older youth, women and people living with HIV (PLHIV) in general were other common target populations. Agencies in the other countries also had a similar proﬁle. Most agencies in Bangladesh and Pakistan were working on detoxi- ﬁcation and rehabilitation of drug users.

5. Training and funding needs The most common training needs in Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka as identiﬁed through the questionnaires and response of the organisations, pertain to programme planning and management. This was true of both CBOs and NGOs. The training needs most commonly expressed in India also included fund raising. The table below summarizes the most common needs for India.

5 In fact, in all the countries covered, several groups and organizations had operations in multi districts/states/divisions/provinces – a further indicator of an unequal geographical spread of technical capacities for HIV response in relation to transgender populations.

03 Fund Raising 07 04 11

04 HIV, care, support, treatment 02 08 10 Total 23 25 48

In terms of access to funding support, 50 of the Indian agencies (49%) mentioned receiving funding support for projects that catered to transgender populations (either exclusively or along with other target populations). But only 40% of these 50 agencies were CBOs of MSM and transgender people.

Bangladesh and Nepal were relatively better off in terms of funding availability than Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Government funding was far more prominent in India than in other countries, where bilateral and multilateral agencies were major pro- viders of funds.

Recommendations

1. Significant increase in the number of agencies working with transgender people in South Asia is needed, since it is clear that there are very few organisations that cater specifically to the needs of transgenders, and since given the vast populations of the sub-region, the ability of the existing identified organisations to serve the complete needs of transgenders is impossible.

2. While scaling up transgender services, emphasis should be laid on underserved countries, and underserved regions within countries.

3. States like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal have a history of relatively strong transgender movements and successful advocacy with government and other stakeholders. These are also the sates within India that have the highest numbers of transgender CBOs/NGOs. This may be indicative of the fact that better organisation and advocacy by the community ensures better services. Therefore one of the recommendations could be to emphasise community mobilisa- tion and advocacy by the community for rights and services.

4. The above history of successful organisations in these states also shows that community ownership and leadership in HIV responses are important indicators of sustainability. Civil society organising by transgenders in countries like Paki- stan, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Maldives, etc., needs to make considerable headway. However the example from these states in India show that the development of the transgender HIV response in these countries would be most successful if it involves community strengthening and empowerment, and ultimate community ownership of HIV service delivery.

5. Broad basing of the HIV and AIDS services package to include activities that have an “indirect” but signiﬁcant impact on increasing the ability of transgender people to protect themselves from HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and access quality health services. These can include (but not be limited to) psycho-social support to enhance self-esteem, income generation programmes and self-help cooperative formations, vocational training and other educational activities, access to legal aid, social security support like access to banking services and citizenship documents (passports and voter identity cards), and access to emergency shelter and housing. These services would make the response to HIV among and for transgender people based on recognition of their rights to dignity, health and life as equal citizens. This was a universal requirement in all the countries covered. In countries other than India, there was also a strong need for technical assistance agencies.

Note: Many respondents used expressions like "sexual minorities", "queer", "LGBT" and "LGBTIQ" in their organizational profile literature or filled up mapping questionnaires. In this database, however, the term "sexual minorities" has been used from operational convenience point of view. It does not reflect APCOM or SAATHII's preferences in this regard in any way.

Dear . . . Greetings from Solidarity and Action Against The HIV Infection in India (SAATHII). The Asia Pacific Coalition on Male Sexual Health (APCOM) has appointed SAATHII to undertake a mapping of the male-to-female transgender (TG) groups, organizations and networks addressing issues of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support and treatment in South Asia. The countries to be covered for the study are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives Islands, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. This study is expected to contribute to increased networking and coordination among TG initiatives in South Asia and scale up their response to the HIV epidemic. We would be grateful if you can spare some of your valuable time and fill the enclosed questionnaire on the profile of your agency and its HIV related activities. An early response by February 28, 2008 at [email protected] would be appreciated. You can also send us the filled up questionnaire by post at SAATHII, CD 335, Sector I, Salt Lake, Kolkata 700 064, West Bengal, India. If you receive this letter by post, a self-addressed stamped envelope would be enclosed which you can use for sending us the questionnaire. Please feel free to contact us if there is any clarification you need. Yours sincerely
