520			_aThe experience of some NGOs reveals a gradual shrinking of space for rights-related work and any form of protest against mainstream cultural and social norms. Such organisations, especially those working on gender or sexuality-based discrimination, are becoming increasingly vulnerable to attacks from several quarters.

But feminist groups, as well as many men, are increasingly joining hands in this struggle. - Reproduced
