Our work primarily is with Men who have sex with men (MSM), a term coined to include a wide range of people with sexual orientation varying from homosexuality, bisexuals, transgenders, transsexuals, circumstantial homosexuals (hostel boys, people in jails and other places where they do not have access to members of the opposite sex).

We provide condoms and well as medical treatment; this has often led people to question me if we by doing so are encouraging “homosexuality”. To this I ll say what I say to them,
· Our work is not to judge,
· Our aim is safety,
· We cannot ignore the fact that they are vulnerable and wish the problem away, by addressing the issue we are aiming to limit the damage caused by it and saving lives. Putting things under the mat will make it worse.

So its high time we accept and address the real issue(HIV/AIDS and other STIs) and not care about what a person does in his/her bedroom, that is his personal space, between him/her and their partner, which does not make them lesser human beings.

Child labour

part of my work involved working with homosexual and transgender men.....Section 377 criminalises same sex as "against the order of nature"...for us working on health esp HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STI) there poses a grt challange...however with the sanction of the health dept intervention in this field has been on for a while...but the acceptable part starts and ends with adults i.e. those above the age of 18....the biggest dilemma arises when we talk hav boys 15, 16, 17 who are sexually active coming in for health service...wht do u do?? refuse service?? the official line is "YES"
the whole q of child labour was presented with such irony tht i havnt still recoverd from it...a child can be a sex worker but cant be provided any other work coz he is technically a child and therefore the employer can be arrested....fcrz u r gonna say tht all this is in paper but my q is on paper wht happens to this child??
