Abstract

This is a exploratory study on the project titled Promoting Right of the Extreme Socially Excluded People (PRESEP), aimed to work with the most potential risk population of the target area like female commercial sex workers (FCSW) in brothel, street and hotel settings, transgender, intravenous drug users (IDU), male having sex with male (MSM) and persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWA). They are stigmatized and discriminated for their (often perceived) psychosexual behavior and activities, which has got social disapproval. However stigma, discrimination and violation of human rights restrict them to access to general social services like health and education. Therefore, they suffer from the common diseases (due to lack of information and services) including sexually transmitted infections (STI), HIV/AIDS, and they pass the risks of those to their spouses and their surrounding population. But the purpose of the PRESEP has given clear direction that `selected marginalized communities capable in demanding their rights related to accessing information, civil amenities, health and education and the society is compassionate and understanding to respect their human dignity and support in realization of human rights for the marginalized community. The study shows that by developing self-esteem at individual level and capacity building for organizational development can improve overall situation including HIV/AIDS positively.
