PHILOSOPHY AT ABVA

 

ABVA members numbering around 18 to 24 since its inception in 1988 volunteered to go and work with/learn from communities viz commercial sex  workers; professional blood donors; drug abusers; gay community. The enhanced consciousness thus gained is shared with others through citizens’ reports; petitions in court and parliament; engaging with bureaucrat and ministers; protest actions. Thus we learn from the communities and spread the message to the ‘outside’ world. All our reports have been prized between Rs. 5/- to Rs. 30/-. Lastly whatever we have to share with everyone is put on the ABVA’s blog which is constantly updated. Photographs, reports etc cannot be republished without explicit written permission from ABVA.
