This chapter focuses on the experience of volunteers and frontline workers who serve in marginalized communities across Southeast Asia. More frontline workers and volunteers are taking the initiative to support marginalized communities in the region. With the rise of human rights violations towards marginalized communities in the past decade, frontline workers and volunteers face unique experiences in working with these communities, ranging from stigma and discrimination to unaddressed levels of burnout. Based on the authors' experiences working with these communities and the summary of the interviews with fellow frontline workers, the experience of working with marginalized communities, particularly those affected by HIV/AIDS and refugees, are elaborated in this chapter. Current challenges as well as recommendations are highlighted to ensure that the frontline workers and volunteers are supported throughout their vital work towards society.

This chapter asks: Is AIDS an object of international law? It accepts that the question is problematic but argues that answering it might allow international law to be seen differently. Drawing on public health responses to HIV/AIDS, the chapter explores this argument across three related dimensions: crisis, human rights, and law itself. Each of these is central to how we frame international law, which means that reframing them is likely to interrupt international law ‘as usual’—put differently, it is likely to interrupt the ‘order of things’.
