The present paper looks into the situational analysis of elderly women in Orissa. It studies the health, social and economic dimensions of aged ladies in four districts of the state using both qualitative and quantitative data. The results of the study were highlighted in the geographic, socio-cultural and political uniqueness of the state. Findings show that traditional family ties are strong and aged women generally enjoy respect and security at the familial and community level. Almost a half of the respondents were below poverty line. Many administrative hurdles were reported in disbursing social assistance to the needy elderly. Informal support system rule over the state intervention, but in formal community participation systems like Panchayati Raj, Self Help Groups, Mahila Mandals, their presence is negligible. Suggestive interventions were made to suit socio-cultural parameters.Keywords

Sexual minorities are among the most marginalised groups in the society. Sero-positivity accentuates social exclusion among the sexual minorities. The paper aims to appraise the factors that make Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) vulnerable to HIV infection and influence their health seeking behaviours. It highlights two major domains - socio-cultural and interpersonal variables. Qualitative in nature and based on ten in-depth case studies of HIV infected MSM, the study is located in Delhi, India. Factors such as age, marital status, child sexual abuse, multiple sex partners, are crucial in influencing their vulnerability. Socio-cultural milieu puts structural barriers restricting integration of MSM in the society. Cultural values do not allow talking about sex, which hampers healthy sexual behaviours. Exhibiting aggression, sexual violence, visiting sex-workers etc. are considered as important aspects to prove 'manhood'. At the interpersonal level, possessiveness, betrayal, infidelity, heartbreak, strong emotional whirlpool when love-relations go incongruent, all takes a heavy toll of their mental and physical health. These variables socially exclude the sexual minorities from the mainstream life. Findings show positive (disclosing to family, abstinence, spiritual growth) and negative (suicide-attempts, drug-use) ways of coping among the MSM respondents. Critical areas of concern for service-providers while planning interventions for empowering people with sexual minority are delineated.Keywords

Counselling profession is still in its nascent stage in India. Even newer is the concept of counselling supervision. In the field of HIV/AIDS, the government has appointed counsellors in hospitals, healthcare centres and dispensaries. In 2008, Global Fund to fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in its round 7 (GFATM-R7) initiative in India was called ‘Saksham’ and aimed to strengthen the counselling component in prevention and management of HIV. Counselling supervision was experimented with the goal of enhancing capacities and skills of counsellors and making the counselling process more effective. This paper is an attempt to appraise the impact of counselling supervision; it highlights the several benefits of counselling supervision. The research shows a decrease in burnout and increase in counselling competencies among counsellors due to supervision. Counsellors have been able to deal with many difficult cases seeking the help of supervisors.Keywords
