Samapathik Trust

Samapathik Trust is Pune's oldest LGBTQ+ organisation, founded in 2002 by writer and activist Bindumadhav Khire. It works on sexual health and HIV prevention among MSM and transgender communities, runs peer support-group meetings and a counselling helpline for queer people and their families, and publishes queer literature in Marathi and English. The Trust organised Pune's first Pride march in 2011 and remains a central point of contact for the city's queer community.
