Our Foundation:

Founded in 2006, Basera Samajik Sansthan is a non-governmental organization operating its interventions to support sustained responses to HIV in India that protect rights and improve health. Complementing the Indian national program, we build capacity of LGBT communities. Forced to the margins of our society are the people bearing the brunt of the epidemic: Sex workers. Men who have sex with men (MSM). Transgenders and hijras. Vulnerable youth and women. People from all walks of life living with HIV (PLHIV).
The organizations focuses on protecting and expanding the rights of LGBTQ Individuals, most notably advocating for Transgender rights, anti-discrimination and hate crimes legislation, documenting and reporting on Gender Base Violence and HIV AIDS advocacy. BSS strongly believes in supporting LGBTQ people thrive and live with dignity.
