This Policy Brief is adapted from the UNDP and APCOM report, titled ‘Legal environments, human rights and HIV responses among men who have sex with men and transgender people in Asia and the Pacific: An agenda for action’,1 covering 48 countries and territories of the Asia and Pacific region. The study considered legislation, cases, published research, policy reports and press reports, and drew from consultations with community representatives, legal experts and UN agencies. The following summarizes findings and recommendations relating to South East Asia with inputs from three of APCOM coalition members: Developed Asia Network (DAN), Insular Southeast Asia Network (ISEAN) and Purple Sky Network (PSN, covering the Greater Mekong Sub-region).
