Mitini NepalTraining in computer skills and English
British medical practitioner Dr Jane Stephens (right) spends six months of every year working in Dr Stephens discovered the lesbian group Mitini Nepal in Kathmandu. She writes: 'Homosexuality is supposedly illegal in Nepal, yet the constitution states that basic freedoms of association, expression, and assembly must be enjoyed by all without discrimination. 'Sexual violation of people of all alternative sexualities is common and hidden from public view. The main NGO working to support these groups is called the Blue Diamond Society. However, the focus of their work and funding is men who have sex with men due to the increased HIV risk incurred by penetrative gay intercourse. This increased HIV risk means they can get good NGO funding, but only for men who have sex with men.'
