Men who Have Sex with Men<br />

<strong>and</strong> Human Rights<br />

Example Responses:<br />

Right to shelter/accommodation: MSM are kicked out of the house by their<br />

families; or by l<strong>and</strong>lords, once they discover they are MSM.<br />

Right to work: Some MSM are not hired, or in some cases fired, or not<br />

promoted, when the employer<br />

discovers they are MSM.<br />

Right to equal protection by<br />

the law: If an MSM reports a<br />

case of harassment, police<br />

often ignore it <strong>and</strong> make fun<br />

of the MSM.<br />

2. Finding solutions (case studies): Divide into small groups <strong>and</strong> give<br />

each group one of the case studies (below). Ask them to read the case study <strong>and</strong><br />

discuss:<br />

Which right has been violated?<br />

What could you do if you were the person whose rights were violated?<br />

What examples do you have from your own experience?<br />

Write the questions on a flipchart <strong>and</strong> tape on the wall so that all the groups<br />

can see it.<br />
