Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-
being related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, a well as the possibility
of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, Protected and fulfilled.

Why we must work with MSM and HIV prevention, care and support
  • It’s the right thing to do on humanitarian grounds
  • It’s the right thing to do epidemiologically
  • It’s the right thing to do from a public health perspective

Males who have sex with males (MSM), whether their self-identity is linked to their same sex behaviour or not, have the right to be free from violence and harassment; the right to be treated with dignity and respect; the right to be treated as full citizens in their country; the right to be free from HIV/AIDS; and MSM who are infected with HIV have the right to access appropriate care and treatment equally with everyone else, regardless of how the virus was transmitted to them.

Naz Foundation International (NFI) has developed three new posters and one booklet which underline the internal strength and courage reflected by MSM, hijras, and transgenders to live their ordinary lives as extraordinary people. 

The booklet titled “Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary People” portrays moments from the day to day life of MSM, hijras and transgenders across South Asia.  It’s a photo essay of selected photographs from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.  Click here to download

The two posters titled “I am proud to be a kothi” reflects the essence of living the life as a kothi, in a society where stigma, discrimination and social exclusion profoundly impact their open self-acceptance.

Historically, British Empire had categorised same sex behaviour as unnatural in all the countries where they ruled.  This law in its various incarnations has been justly criticised as being against human rights and social justice. This poster is only a “natural” reaction to the “unnatural” perception of the British colonial experience. Click here to download

On this day of IDAHO, NFI joins hands with MSM , hijras and transgenders across the world  reflecting their voices to that urgently need to be heard and acted on.
