PhotoVoice and the Frontline AIDS (as part of the Link Up* project) joined forces in January 2014 to work with the Myanmar Youth Stars -- a group of under 25 representatives from key groups affected by HIV in Myanmar, through the support of Alliance Myanmar Key groups include sex workers, gay people of both sexes, MSMs (men who have sex with men -- not necessarily identifying as gay) and transgender people (born male but identifying and living as a woman). The project aims to increase visibility of key groups, challenge stigma and misconceptions that increase risks faced by them and other young people, and build the skills of the Youth Stars to enable them to be effective advocates and peer educators.
