What we do:
Salamander aims to protect, promote and enhance the health and rights of people particularly, but not exclusively, marginalised by societies worldwide as a result of their gender, HIV status or sexual and reproductive health.
Salamander seeks to promote sexual and reproductive health with HIV prevention, care and support, within a holistic, gender-based human rights framework.
How we do this: Through training, global advocacy and research......

- we raise awareness of relevant issues through the development and dissemination of print and multimedia materials;
- we make presentations, attend, promote and host meetings on these issues;
- we develop, support and work closely with related networks;
- we represent the views of those marginalised on the basis of their gender and sexual health status and enable them to express their own views;
- we support the Community Of Practice of over 1,000 organisations who are users of the "Stepping Stones" training programme on gender, HIV, communication and relationship skills, which was created by Salamander's Founding Director. The programme is now in use in over 100 countries around the world
We work at multiple levels: we engage with community activists, health and legal professionals, UN staff, parliamentarians, the media and the public at large.
Salamander Trust is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee and as a registered charity in the UK. We have also been recommended for Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the UN (to be considered for approval in July 2012).
