From this meeting there was a realization that despite the silence, there was much enthusiasm and sup- port for moving sexuality discussions out into the public arena. This was a crucial turning point as many of the participants at this initial meeting identified colleagues, friends, NGOs, and other stakeholders in Bangladesh and abroad working on and promoting sexuality and rights. The team perceived that there was an urgent need for a broader approach and conversation about sexuality and rights in the larger community.

The workshop covered a range of topics such as society’s prejudices towards minority groups, and issues faced by LGBT members in living in a heterosexually dominated society. As the conference was being held at the BRAC Centre and hosted by the Unive y, this gave the subject matter legitimacy and credibility. We therefore decided to invite a diverse group of policy actors and practitioners (women’s groups, activists, researchers, academics, media profes- sionals, students, and health providers, NGOs and gay, lesbian and transgender groups).

Two training workshops and a follow up workshop were held with this funding. Three core groups were targeted. One group was academics from outside Dhaka to encourage them to develop sexuality dissemination activities and provide a space for discussions among academics and students outside of Dhaka, who are often overlooked in metropolitan debates. Another group was journalists and advertising agencies to encourage writings on sexu- ality and discuss representations (and the absence of) and constructions of sexuality in the media and in advertisements. Currently in Bangladesh, there is noth- ing written on the diversity of sexualities, or often these issues are biased or misrepresented. The third group was the LGBT community who remain mainly under- ground, with only some visibility of MSM and transgen- der groups who work under the umbrella of HIV/AIDS organizations. The idea was to provide non-conforming sexual groups the capacity and space to argue for advo- cacy, training and build their own agenda to fight for their basic rights.
