Sampada Gramin Mahila Sanstha
Sampada Gramin Mahila Sanstha (SANGRAM) is a voluntary organization in India that was co-founded by activist Meena Seshu.[1][2] It works at the grassroots level with activists, volunteers and paid workers. It is slowly gaining importance as a practical training ground for other NGOs and GOs interested in working on HIV/AIDS in a rural context. SANGRAM started its work with women in prostitution and sex work from South Maharashtra and North Karnataka[1] in 1992, and has since fanned out among diverse populations. SANGRAM is based in Sangli district, which had the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS in Maharashtra after Mumbai in 2002.[3]
