The Humsafar Trust (HST) is a community-based organisation (CBO) working on the health & well-being of the LGBTQ+ communities since 1994. We currently work in the health, advocacy, research and capacity building of LGBTQ+ communities across India. While our Health vertical focuses on reaching out to 10,000+ community individuals every year with our health, prevention and testing services through offline and online outreach; our Advocacy & Inclusion vertical focuses on socioeconomic inclusion and well-being of the LGBTQ+ community in the society through projects themed around sensitisation, education, employment, livelihood and crisis management; and lastly our Strategic Information and Research vertical focuses in identifying changing trends and needs of the community on a health and well-being level and present formal data to guide fieldwork, services and support offered to the community. Additionally, significant efforts are taken to build capacities of younger CBOs across India on delivery of healthcare and support services to the community.
