As part of 'Lila-Prism' Series. 

The Naz Foundation is a New Delhi-based Non-Governmental Organization working on HIV/AIDS and sexual health issues since 1994. Through the years, Naz India has evolved to implement a holistic approach for combating HIV, involving prevention as well as treatment. Its focus is on reaching out to marginalized populations infected or affected by HIV to help reduce stigma, improve health, and empower families. It also aims to sensitize the general population to the prevalence of HIV, and to highlight issues related to sexuality and sexual health.

Anajali Gopalan is a human rights and animal rights activist, and the founder and executive director of The Naz Foundation (India) Trust, an NGO dedicated to the fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic in India mainly focused on women and children. Anjali began working on issues related to HIV/AIDS and marginalized communities in the United States. In 2012, Time placed Gopalan in its list of the 100 most influential people in the world.She studied political science at Lady Shri Ram College for Women, a postgraduate diploma in journalism, and has a Masters in international development from Jawaharlal Nehru University. As a strong advocate for the sexual health and rights of the LGBT community, Anjali spearheaded the eight year legal battle against Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).  The Delhi High Court ruled in favour of Naz India in 2009 and declared Section 377 an infringement on individual rights.
