violence are being explored from a human rights
perspective in order to reduce vulnerabilities. Research,
partnering with sex workers and IDUs, forming
indigenous collectives, community mobilization, capacity
building represent the key strategies undertaken.

developing community alliances, building civil society,
empowering women and influencing local governance
systems.
