Drawing from the experiences of civil society organizations (CSOs) over two years in Bulawayo, this open access book provides a comprehensive framework to analyze human rights based approach (HRBA) operationalization for sexual rights of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Zimbabwe. Extensive fieldwork and employing social movement theories create a foundation for exploring the intricate dynamics of global funding rules, political contexts, and internal constraints within organizations, shedding light on their impact on HRBA implementation. The narrative uncovers the deliberate strategies employed by the government to hinder HRBA operationalization, alongside glimpses of hope offered by dissenting voices within traditional, religious, and judicial spheres.

Through vivid ethnographic accounts and interviews, the book navigates the challenges faced by organizations, revealing their resilience in adapting HRBAs to fit their unique context. A significant highlight is the exploration of the intermediary partnership model's role in influencing HRBA operationalization, offering fresh insights into donor-recipient dynamics.

This book is an essential read for scholars, activists, and policymakers interested in understanding the complexities of human rights advocacy and the quest for sexual rights amidst socio-political turmoil and resource constraints in Zimbabwe.
