ASIA: Non-Government

Resources for and about non-governmental actors.

"We finally decided to form a support system for gay men… When we first got started, poorer men from Bombay started coming. Sometimes they had alternative gender or behavioral identities but many were just men having sex with other men. And it grew from there. Last year we provided health services to over 60,000 men."
—Ashok Row Kavi, Humsafar Trust
