| Issues | Through Blue Diamond Society (BDS) support, nine different MSM organizations formed Federation of Sexual and Gender Minorities Nepal (FSGMN). Each organization in the federation is working to intensify advocacy work for the MSM/MSW health issues and further consolidate its institutional capacity through the formation of nationally representative board. They have worked in their respective community and have developed an informal network amongst themselves. As the epidemic grows, it is essential to establish and build the capacity of FSGMN to effectively address the issues faced by MSM/MSW. |
