Working for s*xual minorities in a conservative country like Nepal which still disapproves s*xual behaviour other than heteros*xual and therefore people like us was extremely challenging. The first challenge was registrations an NGO for s*xual minorities the constitution doesn’t recognize s*xual minorities so BDS was register as a s*xual health programme. The BDS work in Kathmandu with local commu
nities and on a national level with the mission to improve the s*xual health, human rights and well being of s*xual and gender minorities in Nepal including third-genders ,gay men, bis*xuals, le***an, and other men who have s*x with men. Through BDS outreach work; we have reached up to 350000 LGBTI/MSM. BDS the only organization of this kind and key activities include health promotion for s*xual minorities psycho-social counselling raising awareness of HIV/AIDS, promoting human rights and s*xual health, documenting human right violations and violated, legal counselling and litigation services to the victims and families, legal and constitutional campaign, lobbying for policy change, advocacy and media campaign, income generation activities to poor LGBTI/MSM.
