First of all, we are grateful to Big Lottery Fund, the largest distributor of National Lottery good cause funding in the United Kingdom for its support for the study through the EMPHASIS project implemented by Care in Bangladesh, India and Nepal. We are thankful to the research agency AC Nielsen Pvt. Ltd. who conducted the quantitative survey in the three countries and produced country reports. We also thank the CARE EMPHASIS project team and its partner Rights Jessore and Ad-Din Welfare Center in Bangladesh & Bhoruka Public Welfare Trust and Action Research Center in India for collecting and analysing the qualitative data. We would also like to acknowledge the support of the Oversees Development Institute in designing both the studies and providing ongoing guidance. The guidance and contribution of the project Team leaders in the three countries and Senior Project Directors of the project during the study were helpful. We would like to thank George Kurian from CARE India and Mehrul Islam from CARE Bangladesh for their review and feedback to the report. Most importantly we are grateful to the participants of this study who have without hesitation, given their time and shared their experience and views regarding mobility and vulnerability to HIV.
