MSM Around the World: Stand Up, Be Counted!

Dear all,

The Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF) has announ=
ced the launch of the
2014 Global Men&=
#8217;s Health and Rights Survey (GMHR)!

The 2014 GMHR is the third global survey on the heal=
th and human rights of gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM) co=
nducted by the MSMGF. The 2012 GMHR yielded more than 5,000 responses from =
around the world, revealing vital
information about the state of homophobia, human rights, and access to hea=
lth services for MSM worldwide.

Like the 2012 GMHR, this year’s survey is desi=
gned to support knowledge generation, policy development, program implement=
ation, and advocacy linked to the issues that matter most to our communitie=
s. Based on feedback from community members
who participated last time, we have expanded eligibility to include transg=
ender men who have sex with men and have added questions specific to trans =
men’s interests. This year’s survey also includes a new option =
to participate in two follow-up surveys, allowing
us to document how socio-structural factors relate to men’s health a=
nd rights over time.

We invite you to take the survey and encourage you t=
o forward it to the MSM in your networks as well! The more men from your re=
gion that take the survey, the stronger the data will be to support local w=
ork!

Any questions regarding this initiative can be direc=
ted to
GMHR2014@msmgf.org.

Thank you very much!

The MSMGF Secretariat
