This project aims to reduce barriers to (LGBTQ2I+) gender equality in contributing to poverty reduction in Central America. The project seeks to enhance the socio-economic well-being and political empowerment of 2,800 LGBTQ2I+ individuals across its four target countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua) through capacity-building, awareness-raising, and the reduction of discrimination. Project activities include: (1) implementing national strategies for the legal recognition of gender identity; (2) organizing regional forums with duty-bearers and civil society organization; (3) training regional stakeholders on gender equality, human rights, and inclusive language; and (4) co-developing local and national regulatory frameworks on gender-inclusive employment with civil society stakeholders.
