Summary: As one of the converging global challenges that are confronting humanity today, Covid-19 reminds us that we are inherently interdependent, and that we must collaborate across our diversity if we are to be resilient as individual communities and as a global community. I will explore the idea that effectively addressing the converging global challenges that human communities around the world are facing today lies in our ability to elevate our collective consciousness to our inter-connectedness as members of one human family on a one common home, Mother Earth. From a scientific and indigenous systems perspectives, I will discuss the notion of a new paradigm of complementarity across unity in diversity of cultures, colours, creeds, and classes that can provide a sound foundation for building lasting resilience and wellbeing at the local and global levels.

Summary: Male and transgender sex workers comprise 15% of the sex workers’ population in India, yet they are an invisible group in the commercial sex sector. Male and transgender sex workers in India have limited access to healthcare and suffer from poorer quality of care. Marginalization, discrimination, socioeconomic and institutional inequalities act as barriers in attaining health among this population. Additionally, male and transgender sex workers face pervasive and deep-seated stigma at multiple levels for their gender non-conformity and for their involvement in sex work. Such stigma intersects with factors like financial stress, housing insecurity, and employment discrimination, thus precipitating health disparities. The current study examines the sexual health belief, risk perception, and decision-making behavior of male and transgender commercial sex workers in India. The study was conducted in the red-light districts of Kolkata, and also in the rural subdivisions of West Bengal, India. The study findings hope to contribute to recommendations and best practices to reduce STI/HIV transmission, increase adherence to screening/testing and improve healthcare seeking behavior among this population. Much of the research on sex work has focused on the health needs and behavior of female sex workers with relatively little information available on male and transgender sex workers. This study aims to fill this gap in research by drawing attention to a hyper-marginalized population —male and transgender commercial sex workers in India.

Day 2 – Building resilience within health systems

Empowering spaces for health

Katie Powell is a sociologist with 15 years’ experience in public health research. She has three major interlinked research interests: Exploring processes of inequity as they relate to health with reference to the role of place and social spaces. The implementation and evaluation of community-based health improvement interventions. Social networks and their influence on health. Katie has contributed to the development of the public health workforce through teaching in higher education, developing and delivering workforce training relating to evaluation and co-producing evaluations with community organizations to support knowledge exchange. Katie is currently developing ways to integrate sociological perspectives in public health practice to support a greater emphasis on inequality. 

Amy Barnes has 15 years of experience in developing, leading, and evaluating a range of policy-relevant research programmes; working in close partnership with local government, voluntary sector organisations, public health specialists and other stakeholders (in the UK and internationally) to improve wider determinants of health: the conditions in which people live, grow, play, work, and age. Amy works in embedded ways to support the design and delivery of a range of policy initiatives, including producing ‘real-time’ evaluative feedback to support learning and implementation. She has worked on a range of important policy topics, including community power and influence as a determinant of health, co-production in commissioning, public engagement in strategic local planning, neighbourhood planning, healthy food environments (including food trade) and the prevention of adult labour and sexual exploitation.

Summary: Collective control by communities – how much influence they have over their lives – is an important determinant of health. It shapes inequalities in health. This presentation outlines an intervention designed to improve the collective control of disadvantaged communities across England. It describes a long-term research study designed to evaluate the intervention. It presents the findings on how collective control can be measured and how communities can be supported to increase their collective control.

S.A.L.T. : Daring to Listen

Jean-Louis Lamboray – For some mysterious reason, I have always felt that at their core, people were good, and that they could achieve a lot if they were engulfed with trust. If there is a red line in my life, it must be my passion for local responses, what people do to realize their dreams once they realize their potential. At the Constellation I keep being amazed by the power of a positive outlook on people and situations. That power not only transforms the situation, it has transformed me. Barriers between work and life have been shattered. I now live for a world where communities, families, individuals become aware of their potential and mobilise it fully to realise their dream. I can’t call that work anymore. Nor can I say that I have become an expert at anything.

Luc Barriere-Constantin was formerly a UNAIDS staff until 2014 when he retired. Currently Voting Member and Chairperson of The Constellation. He is also one of the co-funders of that organization. Luc’s main focus is now the development of partnerships and projects/programs for the dissemination of the SALT-CLCP methodology, research & development of the method as well as training new facilitators. Luc is a Medical Doctor by training with an MPH in epidemiology and international Public Health from the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health. After field experience with MSF France, he spent most of his career with UNICEF and UNAIDS where he could share and strengthen his experience in many African countries and various situations. Before retirement, he was posted as Senior Planning & Operation Adviser in UNAIDS HQ. Luc is a French/Swiss citizen and currently living in France; he is the father of three children.

Summary: As you are aware, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fault lines in the health care systems around the world. It highlights the critical need of the hour, a ‘health promotion linked roadmap’, to boost the nation’s capacity. It requires coordinated intervention, which is a collective action of the government and other stakeholders, including local communities.

VHAI has implemented an innovative community-based health promotion programme with the objective of building the capacity and resilience of the local underserved communities and health systems and developing a sustainable roadmap for COVID-19 prevention. This programme focused on underserved communities in one State of India , which has 32.59% of its population below poverty line. This programme is based on a Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) approach model of WHO, UNICEF and IRC.

Central to this health promotion approach is active community involvement employing a peer educator model to build public trust and collective responsibility for population health promotion and protection which will be discussed in detail in the presentation
