Published purpose

This projects aims to empower local, national and regional civil society actors to address injustice against LGBTQ2AI people. This approach involves using the law to increase the ability of LGBTQ2AI persons to assert their rights and regain control over their lives. This will be achieved through interrelated individual and collective empowerment approaches that promote: 1) improved ownership of human rights by individuals and organizations from the LGBTQ2IA community, through outreach and training; 2) strengthened legal aid and legal aid services to facilitate access to the courts by victims of human rights violations at the local, national and regional level; 3) support for strategic litigation of landmark human rights cases; and, 4) strategic advocacy support to foster structural, cultural and systemic change.
