BEES identifies various issues to be implemented through participatory process giving priority to the reproductive health, population, nutrition, WatSan, arsenic and development agenda, which includes addressing safe motherhood, enhancing the use of contraceptive methods, counseling and communication, RTI/STD management (including prevention of HIV/AIDs), training, sex education and related adolescent reproductive health initiatives, qualitative health and related behavioral research, gender-based violence as well as male participation in reproductive rights and gender equity. Each of the activities aims at bringing a new and bold approach to overcoming persistent and intransigent obstacles to achieving a malnutrition and HIV/AIDS free Bangladesh and to checking all the factors conducive to poor health.

Social mobilization is a movement which aims at creating a major thrust to solve problems of national magnitude by promoting participation of all possible sectors and civil society, mobilization of local resources, use of indigenous knowledge and enhancement of people’s creativity and productivity through mass campaign. The concept has an extreme positive significance where a real change could be initiated by orchestrating joint efforts against the alarming health & education situation. To face the serious disquiet scenario in health, education and some other areas, BEES felt that the standard of living could be raised through an overall improvement of socio-economic and demographic conditions by undertaking an integrated social mobilization program with components of credit, health and basic education as the major components.

To promote and improve the socio-economic status and demographic conditions, promotional activities are facilitated in the intervention areas through different forums. Young men in impoverished communities have many needs. Sometimes the only means of income available involves strenuous manual labor, low job security and little or no control over working conditions. Though such type of work itself may not have a risk of HIV infection, but it can lead to intense frustration. The lack of personal satisfaction may turn into adopting escapist behaviors like getting drunk, taking drugs or having sex with prostitutes/sex workers. Therefore, the youth groups of the society become easy victims to HIV infection. With this understanding, BEES promotes sex education for vulnerable youths and women through different communication materials and promotional activities.

BEES believes that the focus on HIV/AIDS and other general & reproductive health issues must be expanded to youth groups. But it is observed that resources and attention are limited to protect young women from being victims of HIV infection. This point is correlated with women's rights and reproductive health. Before adopting any approach for prevention of HIV/AIDS, it should be acknowledged that young women are far more vulnerable than young men in this regard. Therefore, initiatives have been taken for raising awareness and highlighting the means those perpetuate the power relations in different societies and cultures to exploit the disadvantaged women at all levels. To protect the violence against women the battle is still being fought.

It should be admitted that still now women are having less opportunity, lower status, less access to any skill development training and resources and hence perpetuates their lower socio-economic status. The women are the main sufferer of trafficking, victims of sex violence and pervasive illiteracy. Their representation in different forum is insignificant which also leads to weak voice in decision-making.

All these concerned BEES to empower women and to prevent and control HIV/AIDS. Services are provided to women vulnerable to HIV infection, especially those aged 15-49 years. This includes women working as low-paid industrial workers (garment, hotels, tea-garden etc.), and women living in slum areas. Services include Behavior Change Communication strategies on HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, condom promotion, referral to reproductive health services, advocacy to local officials & agencies and; linkages with other development and HIV prevention activities. Now women are getting aware of themselves and trying to protect themselves from being raped or afflicted with HIV/AIDS. And, they have started taking up their own responsibilities-own choice of lives into their hands.
