- Abstract
According to the exigencies of national and international institutions, non-governmental and grassroots organizations assisting waria --male-to-female transvestites-- in the Indonesian city of Jogjakarta have focused all their programs in the prevention and treatment of HIV. As a result of a recent training program in social management, groups of waria have decided to establish themselves as independent institutions and initiate socio-political processes of revindication and negotiation aimed at obtaining free medical access and care. Throughout analysing the underlying causes that have motivated these practices and their consequences, this paper seeks to discuss and rethink the prevailing priorities constructed in global health --characterized by presenting the battle against HIV and Malaria as a the pressing health priorities in the Global South.
