About the Organisation:

`SAMABHAVANA' in Hindi means `same feelings', As suggestive by the name the organisation is working to tackle issues encompassing lives of individuals with same sex preference or alternate sexualities, The organisation is non funded and registered with the Charity commissioner`s office in Mumbai,India.

The core team of the organisation consists of like minded people from different walks of lives joined with a determination to make changes.The organisation has clarity in its vision and believes in the following:

Integration Rather Then Differention : this actually means involving and sensitizing the society in issues effecting lives of sexual minorities & PLWHAs and thereby making the social environment more conducive to live and co exist.

Creating Safe Environments :We intend to gradually develop a full fledged center for persons with alternate sexuality and PLWHAs that will deal with identity, counseling and advocacy.

Human Rights and Advocacy :The organisation will strive for bringing these changes by interacting proactively with the government and other legal departments along with cooperation of all other like minded groups or individual existing in similar activities.

Building International Bridges of Friendship :The organisation believes in learning from international experiences in this struggle for rights and acceptance of sexual minorities and PLWHAs,we will forge alliances with organisations existing in these nations and learn from their experiences and accept support for our activities.

Fighting The AIDS Menace :The organisation is committed to the universal fight against the spread of AIDS and its first step is creating a web initiative portal www.indiaids.org.

Cultural Activities :From ancient times people have been using the medium of cultural activities for spread of message and in recent time this culture has gone underground and needs to be brought to the forefront, the organisational will strive to hold arts and cultural events which is the universal way for communication and bridging with the mainstream society.

Samabhavana has its own comprehensive web site on persons with alternate sexuality: www.samabhavana.org and for information regarding our Projects,Activities, Alliances and future plans please visit the site.
