BIJAM
Bidhayrthi Jagaran Manch
BIJAM is the short form of Bidhyarthi Jagarn Manchi in Nepali, translated in English as Student Awareness Forum. BIJAM was formed in 1995. The focus of work for the last 11 years has been on increasing the awareness and knowledge about HIV & AIDS through many different projects. These programmes have taken the HIV & AIDS message to schools, colleges, factories and through its mass communication programmes to the general public. In more recent years it has centred on the HIV and risk reduction services including behaviour change communication interventions, access to clean needles and syringes, condom distribution, STD referral and counselling and Peer-Led Intervention. Through its Youth Community program and the Community Information Centre more attention has been given to the young to provide them with life skills and information. BIJAM is renown in the community for its networking and trying to bring the community together to fight the HIV & AIDS epidemic.
BIJAM has been working in Bara, Parsa & Makwanpur districts.
The aim of BIJAM's five year plan is to deliver the following
- A reduction in stigma and discrimination against those infected and affected by HIV & AIDS in the community.
- A change in behaviour of the at risk groups in the community.
- To secure a totally educated and aware community about HIV & AIDS, and for
- A strong active network of local organisations fighting together to eradicate the HIV & AIDS epidemic and advocating for the rights of PLWHA, both locally and nationally.
